The following will create a file named 'try.txt': PS C:\> new-item try.txt -itemtype file Directory: C:\ Mode LastWriteTime Length Name ---- ------------- ------ ---- -a--- 12/17/2018 04:10 PM 0 try.txt PS C:\> Now copying the newly created file using the cp command on Cygwin: user AT hostname ~/try $ cp /cygdrive/c/try.txt $PWD/ Now, the touch utility is used to create a file named 'touch.txt': user AT hostname ~/try $ touch touch.txt The ls command shows: user AT hostname ~/try $ ls -l total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 user None 0 Dec 17 04:12 touch.txt -rwxr-x--- 1 user None 0 Dec 17 04:12 try.txt When the file is created with the touch utility, the permissions are properly set for 'user', 'group', and 'other' but when the file is copied from outsite of Cygwin only the 'user' and 'group' permissions are set. Obviously, 'other' is not used on Cygwin, everytime the file is SCPed on a linux server the permissions need to be change for 'other' to match the permissions on that server. Why is that so and is there a better way around this? -- John Doe -- 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
