It means that the home directory that is configured (in Cygwin) for your user account should exist. ssh will create the ".ssh" directory there - if it is able to do so. > How do i do that? mkdir /home/_Kai_ for example? Or you could change the entry for user _Kai_ in /etc/passwd so that the home directory points to something that already exists.
