This is an old revision of the document!
Installing ssh on Windows 7:
Start a bash shell as Administrator
ssh-host-config
Answer yes to everything except “Do you want to use a different name?” Enter a password when prompted.
Start the server (still as Administrator) with
net start sshd
If you don't have a password set on this account then you will need to set one in order to log in via sshd. If you do, then you may need Jiggery Pokery to copy it across into Cygwin (or else the following will probably work). Still as Administrator:
passwd
That should do it. If you want to lock things down, /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny are your next port of call.
