Thanks for replying Marco, I wanted to post my own reply but didn't know how!
I feel like a bit of a moron now, it wasn't anything to do with ccrypt/cygwin it was to do with file read and write permissions... so needless to say, once I had sorted that, all was well. I've not made a file permission stuff up in a long time, so hopefully that's it for another year or two :D Thanks again -Chris On 28 June 2013 10:40, marco atzeri <marco.atz...@gmail.com> wrote: > Il 6/28/2013 10:52 AM, Chris Mingay ha scritto: > >> Hi all, >> >> Up to date Cygwin running on Windows 2003 Server with ccrypt version >> 1.10 (up to date) >> >> Up to date Ubuntu 12.04 with ccrypt version 1.9 (up to date, according >> to apt-get) >> >> I've encrypted a file using ccrypt in Cygwin and I am unable to >> decrypt it on the linux box (Ubuntu 12.04).
