Lock down Cygwin to SSH SFTP only -- disable putty shell login

Asked by george183 in SSH / Telnet Software, Miscellaneous Security, CYGWIN

Tags: sftp, cygwin, ssh

I have setup a Windows 2003 Server with Cygwin and SSH.  The purpose of this server is to provide SSH file transfer from the internet to the server.  It is essentially going to be used as an SFTP server.

Is there anyway to secure Cygwin so that it can only be accessed through a SSH client such as WinSCP?  As it is currently configured, any user with a username and password to the system can use PuTTy and basically get a "dos prompt" on the server.
