Any pointers are appreciated...
I want to make references from bash on NT to a file that is on a shared
drive on a remote system. In a DOS box, I would use the UNC format
\\computername\sharename\path\file.ext to get at this file. Is there a
special cygnus format for this sort of thing?
Thanks in advance,
David

The same format appears to work (for Cygwin 1.0, CD), but you need to
quote it:
ls '\\system\directory'
There are probably some restrictions, such as needing to be in the same
domain...

As it's usual on U*X systems you may use forward slashes:
ls //system/directory

Same. But (forward) slashes are easier to use since it negates the need to
escape the back slashes.

Hi William,
in my experience, it's much more stable, cheaper (=free) and
easier to install Samba once on a few Unix servers and then
forget it than to install NFS S/W on a bunch of NT-clients!

Just to answer definitively: No. There are no plans to incorporate NFS
support into cygwin. Such support is completely outside of any of the
design goals of cygwin.
Cygwin is just a DLL. It is not a filesystem driver.

If remote drives are visible in the normal network neighborhood
you can mount them with the usual mount command:
mount -f -b //system/directory /whateveryouwant

In a simular vein, is there any way to mount a remote drive (i.e. NFS) via
cygwin? If not, are there any plans to incorporate NFS support in a later
cygwin release?
