I downloaded and installed Cygwin. When I tried to connect to UNIX
using ssh command, it says

bash: ssh: command not found.

Is there some setting that I need to do? Or any other ideas on what is
going on here. Thanks

The base installation of Cygwin does not come with SSH. Run the
installer and install openssh as described in the "Resource[s] for

If you have the space (maybe 3-4GB) and time,
install everything on cygwin. There are lots
of interesting compilers and tools to play with.

To do this, in the installer don't expand the
list of things to install but click where it says
"default". Then wait *about a minute* and
"default" will toggle to "install." Then proceed.

Make sure openssh (which presumably contains the command ssh-host-config) is actually installed.
Check your PATH, and make sure it contains the directory containing that command
