try: After creating temp.txt in Cygwin:
$ ls -l temp.txt The permissions of this file will depend upon your setting of 'umask'. For me, this yields: $ umask 0022 So, my permissions are set to 'rw-r--r--'. Because you are creating a text file, execution permission should not be on by default. 'ex' appears to be behaving correctly. After 'c:\temp> copy temp.txt a.txt', try: $ ls -l a.txt For me, this yields permissions '---------', i.e., all "UNIX" permissions are turned off. When I attempt to "run" the text file 'a.txt', notepad opens with the contents of 'a.txt' because on my system (Win2K, running Cygwin 1.3.15-2) I have notepad associated with .txt files. > -----Original Message----- > From: Joel Rubin [mailto:jmrubin@;ix.netcom.com] > Sent: Monday, November 11, 2002 4:22 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Access Denied (XP Home SP1, cygwin-1.3.15 > > > I have the same problem with several Cygwin programs including wget > and unzip.
