I would suggest installing openssh from http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe.

After that you can run the ssh-host-config script to install it as a
service.

After making sure the other guy's user ID is in your /etc/passwd file,
you can have him log on your system locally and get to a bash prompt to
initialize his environment.  Then have him run ssh-user-config to get
the ssh stuff for his user account created.

After that, he should be able to ssh into your system and do what he
needs to do.

PS - I apologize in advance for the legal disclaimer at the bottom of my
email message.  This is tacked on by our SMTP gateway and I have no
control over it.  I have also put in a request to have the text wrap at
character 72 instead of just a single incredibly long line.
