You downloaded "it?" Cygwin? It's just like a Linux distribution

you are correct, I downloaded the setup.exe from cygwin.



If you did just download the installer, beware that you've got a big
download ahead (which must be preceded by package selection, unless
you're willing to just go for the whole huge set of packages).

how do you select these packages, and what do I look for/need/want to
install for ssh/sftp ?


Cygwin is quite good and the only way to make Windows usable to
those of the Unix / Linux ilk such as myself. I immediately install
it on every Windows computer I must use on an ongoing basis.

once I get it "installed" and working I'll have a better idea what you
are talking about:) kinda hard to think about *NIX on a gates box..
