Try creating that directory and creating a random file in it. I'm more puzzled by the file name, though. While colons are allowed in Windows file names, they bear special meaning of referencing streams within a file. And they can't be nested. And Cygwin seems to be blissfully unaware of their existence. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Tuesday, October 6, 2015 17:56:31 Sorry for my terrible english... -- 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
