Can I change the location of my home directory?

It is possible by updating inst.dir/etc/passwd. However, It is not recommended since OpenSSH is a wary environment regarding permissions and ownerships. You may encounter access and security problems.
If an activated user has a windows home directory, copssh creates a myhome link from /home/user to it. If you need to access to other directories/shares, you can simply add new links by using ln command.
Examples:
| Access to local directory d:\backup\mypc |
ln -s /cygdrive/d/backup/mypc backup
makes d:\backup\mypc directory available as backup |
| Access to network share \\myserver\netdata |
ln -s //myserver/netdata netdata
makes network share \\myserver\netdata available as netdata |
