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).
