What are the permissions? Not the owner/group, but the permissions. Ex : $ ls -l ~/.bashrc -rw-r--r-- 1 derrick None 1615 Feb 28 17:02 /home/derrick/.bashrc ^^^^^^^^^^ These are the permissions. The owner (me) has read and write permission while the group (None -- must be due to cygwin) has read only permission and the rest of the world has read only permission (probably not a good idea, but it's running on top of winodws, I'm the only user and it's behind a firewall) Maybe you don't have read permission, or maybe it wants to execute it? (I don't think cygwin cares very much about execute permission ;-) HTH, -D
