1. Downloading Cygwin
2+
- download cygwin setup.exe and run it
3+
- choose an appropriate mirror
4+
Note: I will assume that Cygwin will be installed into C:\Programs\Cygwin. Do not install Cygwin into a folder that contains a space character (C:\Program Files). If you do so, you will face many random and unexpected troubles.
5+
2. Install from packages, choose the following:
6+
- OpenSSH,
7+
- tcp_wrappers,
8+
- diffutils [this should be pre-selected],
9+
- zlib
10+
11+
proceed with installation until it is finished.
12+
13+
3. Configuring Cygwin
14+
15+
- run CygWin Bash Shell with Administrator privileges (C:\cygwin\Cygwin.bat)
16+
- from this Bash shell run ssh-host-config
17+
- say “yes” to privilege separation
18+
- say “yes” to create the sshd account
19+
- say “yes” to install sshd as a service
20+
- press to enter an empty value of CYGWIN for the daemon
21+
- Now Cygwin needs to create a new account that will be used as a “proxy”/setuid origin account. Say “no” to use the default name (cyg_server).
22+
- say “yes” to create a new privileged account cyg_server.
23+
- create a password for this new privileged account and confirm it
24+
- synchronize Windows user accounts with Cygwin user accounts:
25+
mkpasswd -cl > /etc/passwd
26+
mkgroup --local > /etc/group
27+
- start SSH server with net start sshd
28+
29+
- test connection with 'ssh localhost' from Cygwin Bash Shell.
30+
say “yes” to check and store server fingerprint
31+
put your Windows account password to authenticate
32+
issue a few test commands in the remote session
33+
close session with exit.
34+
alternatively: test your SSHD with putty.
35+
36+
4. Common issues
37+
- Connection closed by ::1 error
38+
=> How to fix?
39+
+ Check your hosts file: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
40+
+ Uncomment two lines:
41+
127.0.0.1 localhost
42+
::1 localhost
43+
+ Uninstall current sshd
44+
# Remove sshd service
45+
cygrunsrv --stop sshd
46+
cygrunsrv --remove sshd
47+
# Delete any sshd or related users (such as cyg_server) from /etc/passwd
48+
# (use your favorite editor)
49+
# Delete any sshd or relaged users (such as cyg_server) from the system
50+
net user sshd /delete
51+
net user cyg_server /delete
52+
+ Re-install sshd (as step 3.)
