Th= e cygwin project installs a basic configuration of openSSH whi= ch works well on older windows systems, but requires specific = things be done to get the SSH server to work 100% on windows 2= 003 and Vista. CopSSH is a pre-packaged minimal installation of Cygwin with a= couple minor enhancement patches that installs Cygwin, openSS= H, configures you computer (even vista and win2k3) so that ope= nSSH works without any tweaking at all. "OpenSSH for Windows" is a dead sourceforge project that is al= most identical to copSSH, except that development on the project has = stopped a long time ago, and this package requires more tweaking = of the ssh settings and the server that the other options, and= is running very old ssh code that should not be used anymore = in my opinion. If you want the easy solution, install copSSH and everything w= ill work. If you want to get what you have working and you did= not install copSSH then we can offer assistance with making a= ll the appropriate changes, but it will take more time to get = SSH services up and running with public keys, but you will hav= e the option of using any piece of the cygwin project easi= ly.
