rcp is old, deprecated, and insecure.  Don't waste your time with that
one, *especially* on a wireless connection.

This implies that you did not install the ssh daemon.  You're knocking
on port 22, so to speak, but nobody's home.

Yes, of course.  Make sure you've installed the openssh package, run
ssh-host-config and ssh-user-config, and read
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README if you have problems.

I don't follow how that is relevant at all.  Unless you are mentioning
it to show that connectivity exists, but ping would be a better
indicator of that, I think.
