Hi Hugo, The main issue you'll run into is that the code that runs another process and pipes stdin/stdout to/from it isn't implemented in native windows api.
https://github.com/globus/globus-toolkit/blob/globus_6_branch/xio/drivers/popen/source/globus_xio_popen_driver.c#L547 That specific issue looks like it isn't finding a valid ssh client script to exec https://github.com/globus/globus-toolkit/blob/globus_6_branch/gridftp/client/source/globus_ftp_client_handle.c#L126 Those are the two libraries involved in making sshftp work.
