RIght, that's too specific for the Users Guide.  Package-specific documentation
is in /usr/share/doc/<package> and Cygwin package-specific stuff is in
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/<package>.  'sftp', however, is part of the 'openssh'
package in Cygwin.

'ssh-user-config' will create public key files for you.

If you are trying to access network drives with this, please read the 
following for
limitations and options:

<http://cygwin.com/1.7/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.shares>
<http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-setuid-overview>

If you're using 'sftp' with users that aren't part of the Administrators group,
please see this thread for possible issues and workarounds:

<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-07/msg00689.html>


Hope that helps.
