However, when I try to mount it using the "preserve" option the connection fails. I need to be able to preserve users and groups when I am backing up data to the cygwin box. Do I need to create the same set of users on the cygwin box that exist on the remote server, or is there a user that can set sid/gid of non existent users? An what user has permission to use chown? Is there a special way I need to configure my sshd to handle this? Any help is appreciated and I can provide more info if needed. -Shaun -- 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/
