Subject: Setup's local package directory on network share
Date: Thu, 02 Nov 2017 13:52:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <578f-59fb2300-23-38cb1240@198678207> (raw)
Hello,
I would like to share the local package cache with other people.
When browse folders in the respective page in setup.exe, no network shares are visible.
When I manually enter the path (using a mapped drive), I get a dialog: "Directory S:\cygwin\Downloads does not exist, would you like me to create it?" which is wrong since the folder exists.
When I click "yes", I get an error "Couldn't create directory. Is drive full or read-only?"
I can create a folder (and delete it) from Explorer, so it's not a Windows permission problem.
What is the problem here? I searched the documentation and it mentions a couple of problems with network shares and Windows authentication but that when Cygwin is already running.
Regards,
