SSH client not found on cygwin64?
The openssh
package (containing both the OpenSSH server and client software) is not part of Cygwin's minimal base packages. The same setup-x86_64.exe

Click on the setup-x86_64.exe
and then click next till you reach to the Select packages menu.
In the search do the following:
- Type

in the search box - It will search for openssh > click on Net package > click on skip > check the two boxes that pop up.
- Click on next till you finish the install
- Search for
cygwin
and then right click it and "Run as Administrator" - Type
ssh
command in the command line of cygwin - You will see something similar to the following:
