I'm not finding the answers on goggle, even the hits that were from this newsgroup. I'm sure there has been plenty of pounding over time about not being able to get a sshd server working on win 10 Running latest cygwin on win 10 I go thru the steps that begin with ssh-host-config -y I'm told at the end the server wasn't installed because there already is one. Neither "cygrunsrv -S" nor "net start" know anything about it. In an old post from this groups I found mention of there being a problem where previous attempts to install sshd server may have left the path but not the server. Not really sure what the heck that might mean. Something like a cygwin install of ssh and sshd server scouts around somewhere and finds a path but no server and says OK, good to go. You have the server. It sounds kind of silly on the surface but I guess it is, in fact, a real problem. Cutting to the chase, can anyone tell me what can be done about such a problem? How can one find and erase a path that has no sshd at the end. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding things a bit.
