One of my company's Windows 2003 servers had CYGWIN and I think also openssh that came in CYGWIN on it. I'm afraid I do not know much about CYGWIN. I am trying to get the cygwin sshd server running to send/receive files from remote servers via sftp. When I try to sftp to this servers own ip, by running the command 'sftp <our server ip>', it says:
Connecting to <our server ip> Ssh:connect to host <our server ip> PORT 22: Connection refused Connection closed Under Component services I noticed an entry 'CYGWIN sshd' that was in 'Startup Type' of 'Automatic' but did not have anything under the 'Status' column. I tried to start this service but it has stayed in 'Starting' status for a few hours now. D:\cygwin\var\log\sshd.log has the following: Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_key Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key Disabling protocol version 1. Could not load host key Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting. Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_key Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key Disabling protocol version 1.

Could not load host key Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting. I have since tried to stop the service by running the command: 'netstop sshd' and received the following: D:\cygwin>net stop sshd The CYGWIN sshd service is stopping........... The CYGWIN sshd service could not be stopped. Can anyone provide me with some ideas to troubleshoot?
