Thanks a lot.

I tried to follow Your How-To, but I did goof somehow very early.

the command:

$ net start sshd

gives an error (I translate from Italian locale, so the wording could be 
different):

System error 1069.
Service was not started due to an error while accessing.

... and, unsurprisingly, ssh backuppc@localhost fails with:

ssh: connect to localhost port 22: Connection refused

What did I do wrong?
