http://www.openssh.com/faq.html is for open ssh, which = prepackaged bits and pieces of cygwin sufficient to establish an ssh server on a windows machine for remote access into that machine
At the remote end use a graphical program such as coreftp or winscp3 to log in I reconfigured the port from port 22 to another - port 443. This was suggested as it is almost always open (for SSL-enabled websites) and is commonly used for encrypted traffic, thus (?) less likely to attract hacker attention. Not sure if thats true, but it resulted in the boys from India, Korea and from somewhere around Sarawak I've never heard of, finally leaving the sever alone To use a port beside 22, edit c:\program files\openssh\etc\sshd_config in a text editor like Notepad, remove the hash (#) mark from in front of the line that reads "# port 22", change the port number appropriately, then save the file. If an upgrade to full cygwin from openssh is subsequently desired, I found this was somewhat of a struggle - you have to remove all traces of openssh.
