Check the permissions on the public key file and authorized_keys in
~/.ssh (and the .ssh directory itself).  If the target were Linux you
could also look in /var/log/secure to see why the remote closed the
connection.  On a cygwin remote system I don't know where the log is
located, but somebody else on the list can probably tell you.
