I'm sorry that my bad command of English confused you.

If you are the owner, you can easily change that with chmod $ chmod +w /cygdrive/h/Temp chmod: changing permission of 'Temp': Permission denied. Thanks to your hint, I went on investigating: $ ls -l /cygdrive/h/ -rwx------+ 1 myusername mkpasswd 0 May 10 22:19 Temp I think the problem lies in the mkpasswd part of the ownership. In UNIX, mkpasswd would be the owner group of the folder. How about in Windows? > +w /cygdrive/h. If you are not the owner of your own network directory, ask > your server administrator to fix that. Yes, I think I have to talk to him about it. ;) Xianwen > ------ > Thomas > >> On Wed, May 11, 2011 at 9:12 AM, Thomas Wolff<t...@towo.net> wrote: >>>> >>>> Hi Cygwiners, >>>> >>>> I need a hint. >>>> >>>> The network drive (\server\) is mounted as H:\. >>>> >>>> Cygwin can access files on H drive; can modify/delete files on H >>>> drive; however, it cannot create files.
