I have the old NCSA rsh and ftp working with KfW-2.6.5 if you are interested.
We don't promote it, prefering ssh, but they still works.

Another alternative is SSH. There are a number of windows versions
available that do gssapi, and can forward a ticket. Kermit,
SecureCRT and PuTTY-0.56 with (gssapi mods) can all work with KfW.
And some can work directly with the Microsoft built in Kerberos,
so KfW is not needed.
