Lowest denominator in these cases can be to install unix on windows. ie) Put 
Cygwin on the machine, you'll get OpenSSH's server daemon which comes with 
SFTP by default. Not run it before, but I imagine it should work.

If you search for ssh servers for windows, you might find that they quietly 
support sftp. It's usually kind of an after-thought :)
