Kris, The owner of the remote file has a SID that does not appear in your passwd file and thus it cannot be mapped to a uid. Cygwin then uses uid = -1 This also explains what you describe in your follow up message. Perhaps the Windows security gui or the cacls program will reveal the identity of the owner.
