Well, there is some information here that I can work with, so will do what I can... As mentioned in an earlier email, your students need to be able to read, write and delete files in other directories (not just their home directory). Another possibility (admittedly this is a workaround) is to create a /tmp drive symlink for each of your students (see earlier postings re: symlinks for more info on this aspect of Cygwin). If you have a firewall installed, sometimes, depending on configuration, you may not have enabled the students with the right to access (Windows r/w/d) the shared drive (H:/ I assume).
