Use sshd, just like you would in unix only environment. Install OpenSSH on windows (e.g. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_install_firstuse ), use public key authentication only without passphrase (yes, security, I know, but you probably want the thing wirking first). I do not know if the m$ sshd supports chroot, but if it does, use it.
