Cygwin's sshd has a number of limitations unless you go through special 
configuration steps (e.g., it doesn't support  public key authentication 
without CYGWIN=ntsec). Please read through 
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README. If you've had various versions of 
openssh installed on your Windows box over the years, you almost 
certainly have configuration problems. There are ssh-{user,host}-config 
scripts as part of Cygwin's openssh package that you should be using; 
I'm not sure how well they handle existing configurations, but that's 
where I'd start.

I have scp'ed to Windows boxes running Cygwin's scp before so I know it 
can be done.
