Access denied is interesting. In earlier versions of NT it was typically not possible to use any drive letter in calls to `net use' when running in an ssh session. Now (XP) it's possible to use the drive letter in a SYSTEM session, but I still don't use it. I rather use the real path (//server/share/foo/bar/baz), or I use the Cygwin mount command to access it like a local path (mount -f //server/share/foo /foo) Maybe that's a working workaround for you, too. Anyway, I just tried using a drive letter from an ssh session on XP64. As usual, the service account is sshd_server. However, I don't get the above access denied message. What I get is even more strange: $ net use t: \\\\server\\share /user:domain\\user mypassword System error 85 has occurred. The local device name is already in use. Needless to say that drive t: doesn't exist anywhere on that machine. Of course I tried with other drive letters, too. Unfortunately that means I can't even reproduce your problem, so I'm stuck with a wild guess: Did you try to add the sshd_server user to the users which are allowed to access the share? If that doesn't work I think you should really consider to get rid of using those evil drive letters ;) Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat -- 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/
