I know this behaviour in case when you log on via ssh, and you are using the passwordless authentication (i.e., public key authentication). In this case, Windows does not know about your passwords, and you get the permission denied. This is already known - at least, it was when I investigated this some years before. Unfortunately, running "net use \\\\myserver\\myshare /user:myuser" to enter the password does not work either when you connect via ssh. Workaround: Use passwords instead of public keys. So: Are you using these commands "directly" from bash, or are you remotely connected via ssh? Best regards, Spiro. -- Spiro R.
