Cygwin is ESSENTIAL to set up sshd so you can use Windows as a jump box. But it won't ever have i3. So don't spend too much time there!
- Download and install npm for Windows (seems to integrate)
 - Download cygwin
- Put the shortcut in the task bar; right-click > properties > advanced > Run as Administrator (so we can run services)
 
 - Select the following packages:
 
# added procps-ng for [watch] openssh stow xorg-server git tig procps-ng bash-completion
- Let cygwin create an entire new Windoze account:
 
# from : http://www.noah.org/ssh/cygwin-sshd.html RUN AS ADMIN: cygwin prompt > right click taskbar icon, right-click CygWin64 Terminal, "run as admin" ssh-host-config -y # this will create a new WINDOWS USER cyg_server # Start the sshd daemon oh yeah! cygrunsrv -S sshd
- Copy this into place:
 
C:\cygwin64\home\mbehrnsm\.ssh\2018
- To use pem files or keys, you must strip permissions:
 
rclick id.rsa > Properties > Security > Advanced > Disable inheritance > remove everything
- Then you can scp the rest
 
scp -i .ssh/2018/id_rsa bitpost.com:.ssh/authorized_keys .ssh/ scp -i .ssh/2018/id_rsa bitpost.com:.ssh/config .ssh/ scp -i .ssh/2018/id_rsa bitpost.com:.ssh/known_hosts .ssh/
