Perharps the permissions got messed up. try chmod 755 <downloaded file> This should give you permissions to execute the file just downloaded. FAT32 does not support permissions and any file that ends with a .exe will have execute permissions. This is not the case for NTFS partitions. > > Regards, > Frank > > > -- > 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/ > > -- 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/
