This thread lead me to many turns in the road to what I found to be a
solution for me:
someone suggested adding /usr/sbin/sftp-server to the passwd file
instead of the original /bin/switch or /bin/sh.
however, scp doesn't work along with ssh, but I was trying to get sftp
working, so I see no loss.
I have yet to figure out a way to jail the user though. They can still
cd into /cygdrive/c and also cd .. and see the passwd file.
If anyone has suggestions on this please comment.
Thanks,
Johnny
