Re: Windows XP SP2 and Firewall
Perhaps you're looking in the wrong place? ICF came with WinXP originally. Open a network connection-Properties-Advanced-Checkbox for ICF.

Works well (until the use kills the wrapper script...) I'll play with the test program I've written. Maybe this will get an simple commandline interface for configuring ICF. But first I have to find an WinXP with installed ICF anywhere. Win2k did not have it and the plain XP box (no SPs) here hasn't it either. bye ago
Re: SCP doesn't complete transfers of large files

I know a bit about tar, so I recognize the arguments to it, but I'm not sure how they're interacting. It looks like it might run tar on the remote machine, and tar up all the desired files, the output of which is streamed over to a local copy of tar that un-tars them. I'm not familiar at all with the -T option for ssh, and the man page entry isn't illuminating for one such as I. Would an example command be: remote machine abc has sshd running, and has file xyz that I want locally. ssh -T abc tar cfz - xyz|tar xvvfz - -- 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/
Re: Really big files?
I recall at least one recent version with WinXP support, so I'd expect that it does support NTFS.

IIRC there are some parts of windows that cannot be read by anything but the kernel itself, such as the SAM database (or something along those lines.) If this is the case then you'd have to do the image when the partition is not active. I don't know how or if tools like Ghost get around this. Brian Minimal info addition: Symantec's ghost.exe is a AFAIK DOS application, with all the implications - don't know more about it (does it handle NTFS?). PowerQuest's ghost (i.e. Drive Image) does some 'magic' by booting a temporary disk image - for creating the backup (this disk image can be rebuilt using the installed software.

Re: Symbolic Links
NTFS also supports hard links, and there's a program that comes with Windows that lets you make them (searching WinXP Pro's Help and Support Center for 'hardlink' gives the relevant entries). The result would then be that it would work in both Cygwin and Windows (all programs), although it can be confusing if you're not used to thinking of file system-y stuff. Elliott Wilcoxon Brian Dessent wrote: Dan Adams wrote: My question was, is there any way to use the cygwin links, not the windows ones, to also be able to work in the open dialog box in MS Office products like excel for example. As I said, it is working in windows explorer. The only reason why I was mentioning about the windows links is because they were working in excel and I figured it would be a good example. If your filesystem is NTFS (and $deity hope it is, as FAT32 hurts like something awful) then you can try fooling around with its built in symbolic links, which are called junctions in the parlance. There are no built-in tools to do this but the venerable Mark Russinovich again comes to the rescue with his freeware: from http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/misc.shtml#junction: Junction Win2K's version of NTFS supports directory symbolic links, where a directory serves as a symbolic link to another directory on the computer. For example, if the directory D:\SYMLINK specified C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 as its target, then an application accessing D:\SYMLINK\DRIVERS would in reality be accessing C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS. Directory symbolic links are known as NTFS junctions in Win2K. Unfortunately, Win2K comes with no tools for creating junctions - you have to purchase the Win2K Resource Kit, which comes the linkd program for creating junctions. I therefore decided to write my own junction-creating tool: Junction. Junction not only allows you to create NTFS junctions, it allows you to see if files or directories are actually reparse points. Reparse points are the mechanism on which NTFS junctions are based, and they are used by Win2K's Remote Storage Service (RSS), as well as volume mount points. If you want to view reparse information, the usage for Junction is the following: Usage: junction [-s] directory or file name -s Recurse subdirectories. If you want to create or delete a junction, use Junction like this: Usage: junction [-d] junction directory [junction target] To delete a junction specify the -d switch and the junction name. Download Junction (16KB) Download Junction Source (22 KB) I have not tried this but it sounds like it might be helpful for you. I have no idea how Cygwin would interact with one of these, but since it's layered on top of Windows' kernel NTFS driver I would expect that it would treat them just as any other app would, i.e. do the right thing.

Re: setup.exe alternative?
I think he's asking for a installer that uses local stuff, without network downloading (e.g. a cygwin installer that runs and installs from a CD).
