Thank you for your help.
I think I have two problems.
One with SourceForge and the other one with Cygwin
I had an other computer with an old version of cygwin (2.29) and I was not
getting the error message
Could not create directory '/home/Administrator/.ssh'.
Unfortunately I decided to install the latest version of cygwin, and now I have
this message in both computers.
Some questions ( I am a Unix-almost-perfect-ignorant ):
1)
How do I set something like 'binmode ntsec tty' ( I am using windows 2000). What
shoould I type in ?
2)
Why should I do something like that ? I think that Cygwin installation should
take care of it.
3)
How do I know if /home/Administrator exist ?
I am not sure what means '/'. Does it mean the c:\ or
c:/GShell/Unix/Cygwin (where cygwin is installed) ?
4)
How should I set the environment variables HOME and HOMEPATH ?
cygdrive/c/GShell/Unix/Cygwin/Home
or
c:/GShell/Unix/Cygwin/Home
or
c:\GShell\Unix\Cygwin\Home
or what?
Thank you again for any help
