Hi, Is there a way to make cygwin executables to have the same permission rights as cmd.exe or other windows applications?
For the moment I can't access a directory inside cygwin: $ ls /cygdrive/x/PPP/QQQ ls: cannot open directory /cygdrive/x/PPP/QQQ/: Permission denied Windows applications like windows explorer, emacs (windows emacs not the one from cygwin) navigate inside the QQQ directory without problems. Using DOS cmd.exe window I can make the dir command on the QQQ directory: X:\PPP\QQQ>dir 22/11/2006 15:48 <DIR> RRR 05/01/2007 17:23 <DIR> SSS However using cygwin ls from DOS does not work: X:\PPP\QQQ>c:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe /usr/bin/ls: cannot open directory .: Permission denied while it works fine on other directories. Checking the permissions of the QQQ directory I realise that effectively the IT staff in charge of the windows network has restricted to permissions to it (I couldn't guess what they mean). I have little hope to have their help to solve the problem, that is why I would like to get ls to have the same rights as dir. Cygwin does not tell me much about the permissions of the directory. $ ls /cygdrive/x/PPP | grep QQQ drwxr-xr-x 1 marko mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 31 10:25 QQQ Thank you very much in advance, Marko -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
