Hi, I'm trying to copy of bunch of files from debian over to windoze using scp -r. This was working fine except for one error where it complains foo is not a directory and apparently I have foo and foo.exe in one dir but foo is a directory.
I think this replicates the problem. It seems that ".exe" is confused with no extention. Is this true and what can I do or am I just doing something really stupid? Thanks. $ mkdir acrap mmarchy...@phlulap01 /cygdrive/c/old/download/cdarchive $ echo > x1 mmarchy...@phlulap01 /cygdrive/c/old/download/cdarchive $ echo > x1.exe mmarchy...@phlulap01 /cygdrive/c/old/download/cdarchive $ cp x1* acrap cp: will not overwrite just-created `acrap/x1.exe' with `x1.exe' mmarchy...@phlulap01 /cygdrive/c/old/download/cdarchive $ ls acrap x1.exe mmarchy...@phlulap01 /cygdrive/c/old/download/cdarchive $ mv x1.exe x1.fexe mmarchy...@phlulap01 /cygdrive/c/old/download/cdarchive $ cp x1* acrap cp: cannot create regular file `acrap/x1': File exists mmarchy...@phlulap01 /cygdrive/c/old/download/cdarchive $ ls -al acrap total 6 drwxr-xr-x+ 1 mmarchywka None 0 2010-09-07 08:56 . drwxr-xr-x+ 1 mmarchywka None 4096 2010-09-07 08:56 .. -rw-r--r--+ 1 mmarchywka None 1 2010-09-07 08:51 x1.exe -rw-r--r--+ 1 mmarchywka None 1 2010-09-07 08:56 x1.fexe mmarchy...@phlulap01 /cygdrive/c/old/download/cdarchive $ rm acrap/* mmarchy...@phlulap01 /cygdrive/c/old/download/cdarchive $ cp x1* acrap mmarchy...@phlulap01 /cygdrive/c/old/download/cdarchive $ -- 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
