<http://www.walkernews.net/2007/07/21/how-to-setup-ssh-port-forwarding-in-3-minutes/>, 
for example.  There are a number of resources out there
that talk about using ssh and VNC to provide a secure pipe from one machine
to another.  If the Windows machine is behind a router/firewall, don't
forget to forward the ports you're using from the firewall to the machine.
Also open the corresponding ports on any locally run firewall on each
machine.
