- Cygwin is a POSIX emulation layer. Please use slashes, not backslashes: http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames - The default prefix for drive letters is /cygdrive, not /cygwin: http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#cygdrive - Using the UNC notation with two leading slashes for network paths is allowed in Cygwin. Examples are throughout the entire User's Guide section: http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames Did I mention the User's Guide?
