Subject: accessing mapped network drives - cygwin scp 
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi,
I need to access some files from a mapped network drive (e.g. B:) for
scp 'ing.

Currently I'm using pscp (puttyscp) . And I do the following to scp
files from mapped n/w drives (below from B:).

/home/admin/perl/pscp.exe  -pw password -r B:/\IN
smithesh AT 172 DOT 26 DOT 20 DOT 34:datafiles/.

Executing the above  works (-pw  password is the actual password).

But I want to actually use Cygwin's scp, so as to get away with password
authentication

I was able to get  Cygwin scp to work with both RSA and DSA , so that I
don't need to provide passwords.  But this worked  only for files
residing in C drive (or /cygwindrive/c).  But I want to access from
other drives also.

So if I want to access files from  other mapped drives (e.g. B:), what
should I do.  Any help, ideas or information would be really great.

Thanks,
Smithesh
