If you can login to ssh locally but not from the outside, perhaps your
Windows' firewall is blocking this.

You must give the files the correct ownership and access rights:
In cygwin, issue:
cd /
chmod og+w /tmp
touch /var/log/sshd.log
chown system:system /var/log/sshd.log /var/empty /etc/ssh_h*
chmod 755 /var/empty
Define the service with the command
cygrunsrv -I sshd -p /usr/sbin/sshd
Start the service by
cygrunsrv -S sshd
Stop the service by
cygrunsrv -E sshd
Hope this helps.
