Terminal emulator over ssh. The terminal emulator does not offer FTP.
The only ftp client on the Windows machine is ftp. I can sftp into the
AIX box from another AIX box.

I can't install a sshfs client. I can't install an sftp client. I
can't install anything on the WIndows box so I'm stuck with the
terminal emulator supplied, which doesn't support SFTP, or the Windows
ftp client, which doesn't support SFTP.
