cygwin, sshd on Windows 2003

I'm used to the Linux environment, but recently I've been forced to use Windows because of some applications I needed.

I ended up installing cygwin and sshd on the system though, so that I could manage it more like a Linux server in some respects. Thanks to having sshd now for example, I can use scp to automatically backup files on the system.

Does anyone have tips for cygwin/sshd or experiences to share, from the point of view of a Linux admin who's forced to use Windows?

How can you accomplish the same things that are usually done in the Windows GUI in ssh?

How do you edit files in ssh? I installed gvim (www.vim.org) but it just wants to pop up a window, which I can't do over ssh.
