This command is simply telling you that the file is not in that
directory. If, from a Cygwin/X terminal window, you type:

   cd /cygwin/home/JohnDoe
   ls

do you see the file listed? Perhaps it was downloaded somewhere else
on your system, and not in c:\cygwin.  It could be under something
like "My Downloads" or "My Documents".

Do you mean literally \cygwin\home\xxx, or do you mean
\cygwin\home\JohnDoe?  If you don't have this file, you can create it.

Do you have a c:\cygwin\home\JohnDoe\.profile file?

I found a link on the web from somebody who created these various
files for his own Cygwin installation. See:
