Isiman,

On your NT server where you installed OpenSSH (C:\Program
Files\Networksimplicity) there should be an "etc" directory. Under
this directory there is a "passwd" file. If you have setup your
userID in the passwd file, edit the passwd file and in the second to
last field this is where you would input your home directory. Create
a directory "C:\cygdrive", in the passwd file in the second to last
field type in /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/userID. Your done,
you should then be put into your home directory now. Dont forget if
your going to use keys, create a .ssh directory in your home
directory. You must do this part from the command line. Windows
explorer doesnt like to create directories like .ssh. Hope this helps
