It turned out to be relatively simple. All I had to do was create a command
line with a string of the absolute path of cygwin (relative path probably works
as well if cygwin is in your PATH or System Path):
Executor exec = new DefaultExecutor();
CommandLine cl = new CommandLine("c:\\cygwin\\cygwin.bat");
The part that I was confused about was how to get the Executor to take the scp
as part of the cygwin and not a windows command since the openssh package works
as part of cygwin and not windows (if anyone knows how to use a cygwin ssh
package directly from Windows please let me know). All I needed was a pipe
('|'). I didn't think it would be that simple, as it's been years since I've
done any real work on *NIX without a GUI interface of some sort.
cl.addArgument("|");
cl.addArgument("scp");
cl.addArgument("-B");
cl.addArgument(StringUtils.quoteArgument("/cygdrive/c/Documents
and Settings/michael/some _file"));
cl.addArgument("mich...@my_remote_host:/home/michael");
exec.executive(cl);
Of course I had to use the quoteArgument() method for the absolute path of the
file to be transferred since it has spaces and *NIX doesn't like spaces. That
was it. I think cygwin would stay 'active' as long as you kept adding pipes and
*NIX commands/scripts to the command line. I haven't played with it. It's just
a guess.
For me, the hardest part was just getting openssh setup properly since I hadn't
used it before.
Thanks for your interest.

Hi Michael,
no idea since I never used cygwin but it would be highly appreciated if
you share your insights ....
Thanks in advance
