Consider trying the scp that comes with cygwin again. From my experience,
it works out of the box as expected. It should require less effort than
setting up Sergy's port.

I've used both, though I haven't used Sergy's for years, and I'm satisfied
with the current port of OpenSSH.

Take a look at the openssh README in /usr/doc/Cygwin. I can't say I've
tried it, but Corinna's directions tend to be right on, and they address
the current distribution.
