No it's not blocked from Windows. if I log on locally, I can access /cygdrive/c
without any problem. But I can't using jailed SFTP, even if I use my
Administrator account.

Please don't get me wrong here Eric. I am just trying to see the suitability of
Cygwin as the ultimate SFTP server in Windows. SFTP is becoming more and more
popular amongst our customers. In the last 6 months, I received 3 requests to
build system with integrated SFTP server in it. To be honest with you, I have
never come accross this word before that time.
Choosing full Unix based solution is for the time being, out of question for me
as my programmers don't "speak" Unix at all.
If I know how to build a safe SFTP server with Cygwin, then I will share this
experience with others. At least I can contribute to make Cygwin a little bit
more popular.
