Hi,

Since you might want to stay Windows-based, consider Cygwin, maybe. 
http://www.cygwin.com. Cygwin runs a Linux emulator over Windows. Careful: 
I know that Cygwin is capable of doing all that you want to do, but no one 
else should read into this message that you can do anything. I found lots 
of problems related to Cygwin and SSH!

Cheers,
Glenn
