My reference was OpenSSH server on Windows. Not Nokia N8x0/N900.

If user only wants to run OpenSSH server on Windows computer to port forward VNC over, other features like allowing a remote shell are unnecessary. So you can instead of /bin/bash give a shell like /bin/true and use -N flag in ssh command. This way, someone who sees you typing your password cannot remotely log in to your Windows computer over SSH.

SSH keys might also be interesting.

Not sure if SSHFS requires a shell though.
