Assuming a Unix-like permission system, it is quite surprising that you can delete files but not create any. Or maybe you can delete (and create) files in a subdirectory but not create (and delete) in the root directory H:\? Otherwise it might be due to some unusual ACL settings on the remote side, or maybe you have exceeded your quota (amount of allowed capacity) on the remote server? Ask the administrator. ------ Thomas -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
