I have a Windows server with cygwin installed and an sshd server running. I SSH in, and execute the following lines:
echo "Hello World!" > /cygdrive/c/Users/Administrator/Documents/helloworld.txt
chown Administrator /cygdrive/c/Users/Administrator/Documents/helloworld.txt
chgrp Administrators /cygdrive/c/Users/Administrator/Documents/helloworld.txt
chmod 777 /cygdrive/c/Users/Administrator/Documents/helloworld.txt
cmd /c "takeown /S localhost /U Administrator /P "@dm!np@$$" /F C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\helloworld.txt"
However, when I try to open the file in the Windows machine through an RDP session, I just get an "Access is denied" error. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Are you sure the commands are running ok? Check the return codes. For example the last one could fail due to the nested quotes – golimar – 2012-07-03T16:22:42.607
If I take out the /P switch and type in the password manually, the command just hangs. – jab416171 – 2012-07-03T16:44:19.097
In the RDP session, check what Windows permissions the file has. – Harry Johnston – 2012-07-04T00:38:01.573
Try with single quotes instead of double, for the password field or for the outer ones – golimar – 2012-07-04T08:59:59.660
I second the single quotes suggestion by @golimar. The
$$in the password (if that is indeed the password), will expand to the process id of the current shell. Single quotes will prevent that expansion. – Fran – 2012-07-11T18:39:37.453
