I have a SCSI tape drive, and I can use tar to create archives on it:

tar cvf /dev/st0 /bin

tar tvf /dev/st0

but if I try to ssh into my cygwin box and try the same command, then I
get the following error:

tar: opening archive "/dev/st0": The system cannot find the path
specified.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am running ssh under cygwin on a windows 2003 server box.

Thanks for any help!
