Correction. It works except when doing a "cp -p" e.g.: cp -p /c/Local/Path/File.txt /i/network/path/File.txt I have write permission at both the source and destination. On the other hand, using tar to transport a file from the local directory to the network directory seems to work: cd /c/Local/Path tar cf - File.txt | ( cd /i/network/path ; tar xf - ) P.D. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
