Hi Howard,
This issue might be due to some permission issues for ssh to access files from the cygwins directory. Below are 2 alternatives both of which should work.
Option 1
Change permissions of your key file. Right-click on key then select "Properties". Navigate to the "Security" tab and click "Advanced".
Change the owner to you, disable inheritance and delete all permissions. Then grant yourself "Full control" and save the permissions. Now SSH won't complain about file permission too open anymore.
Option 2
move the key to any common path. For eg downloads(C:\Users\username\Downloads\). And try ssh again.
Let us know if this still doesn't work.
Thanks
Arun

Hi Howard,
Could you please change the path to your key in the config file. You should provide windows path(eg C:\cygwin64\home\user\.ssh\key.txt) instead of Linux path (/home/user/.ssh/key.txt) which may not be valid outside Cygwin shell.
Below is an example for config file entry.
Host devcloud
User uXXXX
HostName c009
Port 4036
IdentityFile C:\cygwin64\home\user\.ssh\devcloud-access-key-XXXX
ProxyCommand C:\cygwin64\bin\ssh.exe -T -i C:\cygwin64\home\user\.ssh\devcloud-access-key-XXXX guest@devcloud.intel.com
Let me know if you are still facing any issues with connection.
Thanks
Arun

I did gave a try of changing the linux path to windows path before, but I got a different error complaining about the permission of my identityfile:

Hi Arun,
It seems my account is disabled. Even doing "ssh devcloud" from my cygwin window get me this following error:
kex_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer
Connection reset by 12.229.61.118 port 22
kex_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
Connection closed by UNKNOWN port 65535
This is same error I got when using Option 1 from your suggestion. my account is u57442.
thanks
Howard

Hi Arun,
please ignore my previous reply. I can successfully login in to my account now using Option 1 after my account was reenabled.
