Re: can modify file on network drive, but cannot create files



Hi Cygwiners,

I need a hint.

The network drive (\server\) is mounted as H:\.

Cygwin can access files on H drive; can modify/delete files on H
drive; however, it cannot create files. The program says permission
denied.

Do I need to write some configuration files?

What kind of network file system is it?
Assuming a Unix-like permission system, it is quite surprising that you can delete files but not create any.
Or maybe you can delete (and create) files in a subdirectory but not create (and delete) in the root directory H:\?
Otherwise it might be due to some unusual ACL settings on the remote side, or maybe you have exceeded your quota (amount of allowed capacity) on the remote server? Ask the administrator.
