I will try to help.

You can install syslog-ng in CygWin. The logins will then appears into the 
default syslog /var/log/messages, but there is not logouts log.

The others points aren't really possibles.
You can't log the traffic because it's encrypted, unless the packet travel one 
more hop in which case you can use a common network sniffer (like WireShark), 
but you can't distinguish what come from or go to a SSH's pipe from the rest of 
the local traffic. 
You can get a "log" some commands by copying the .history file IF a shell is 
used and if it create one. scp and sftp are some example that will not be 
logged and you will not known which files have been copied (in or out).

Hi all,

I have set SSH up on my Windows XP Home Edition computer some time ago. I
wanted to be able to log all incoming and outgoing SSH traffic / commands
issued to the server to a file. Currently, SSH is logging to Windows and the
log can be view from Windows Event Viewer. This is not what I want and I was
hoping to sort of 're-direct' the data to a log file somewhere (like say the
sshd.log file which isn't being used at the moment). I am unable to find a
guide on it at all on this, and I hope someone can help me. Thanks in
advance!
