RE: can't open file for writing
Yes, I meant echo: prompt echo hello foo.txt bash: foo.txt: No such file or directory Also, checking my records, I did not have this problem with the current cygwin release as of last February (2004); the problem only began happening when I upgraded in August to Cygwin 5.1 NT with cygwin DLL 1.5.10. Did something change in Cygwin that could be affecting this (even if it is not Cygwin's fault)? Is is possible I have some libraries out of sync? --- Hannu E K Nevalainen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: C Schreiner, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I can not save to a nonexistant file name under Cygwin, but I can under Windows.

can't open file for writing
I can not save to a nonexistant file name under Cygwin, but I can under Windows. When I type: cat hello foo.txt under Cygwin I get this error message: bash: foo.txt: No such file or directory (unless foo.txt already exists in the current directory). This only happens with network filesystems. I know I have write permission because I can create the file with touch foo.txt, and I can create the files with Windows Wordpad. Other programs under Cygwin also cannot create files, such as vim, and co (from the rcs package). Things work fine for all programs on the local C: drive. Why does this problem occur under Cygwin? Is there maybe a workaround? I have not seen anything about this in the Cygwin FAQ or in two mailing list archive searches. If there is already documentation about this, please point me to it. I am using Windows XP professional 5.1.2600 SP 1.0, and Cygwin DLL version 1.5.10-3 (setup program version 2.427).
