cross-platform, secure, private p2p?
I want to share files with my brother over the net. He uses Windows.
A ssh-server cannot be set up on windows without cygwin, and ftp is too insecure (and too un-nerdy 
)
Is there a p2p(ish) service that can be easily set up, is secure and runs on both platforms. Maybe a rsync server?

Why not?
Just did a quick google search and found at least three different ssh server apps for windows just on the front page that dont use cygwin.

Re: cross-platform, secure, private p2p?
yeah, but even these solutions aren't that elegant. As I imagine I have access to the windows pc through a windows shell? Not very confortable.
I'll try torrent for sure, didn't think of that. When I got more time, I'll try setting up a vpn, but it seems like a lot work..
thanks for your responses so far, they were very helpful.

Re: cross-platform, secure, private p2p?
I have lighty on my box as well as sshd - my friend can download files over ssl from lighty, and push files using winscp.
Anyway, DC++ would be good for you.
