Are you referring to the page at http://www.cygwin.com? If so, you probably misunderstand the instructions on the page, how to use setup.exe, or both. In order to install any package available within the Cygwin repository, you need to use setup.exe, so start by by first downloading (http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe) and running that. While navigating the setup.exe interface, you'll eventually be presented with options to download package files to a local directory, install using package files from a local directory, or install from the Internet which is essentially a combination of the first two. It sounds like you're selecting to install from a local directory. You need to make sure that you select to install from the Internet; otherwise, you're likely only only to have a small subset of the possible packages available to you. Next, you need to select at least one Cygwin repository mirror server. How to choose which server is up to you. If you find that a mirror is slow or does not contain a complete list of packages, back up in the setup process and select a different mirror server. Once you get to the package selection page, select to install the openssh package. It's in the Net category, or you can search for it by entering the name in the edit box near the top of the window. -Jeremy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
