RE: problem with directory cygdrive/z/.ssh

Does it only occur for a particular user? Check /etc/passwd and you'll
probably find that the user's home directory is set to /cygdrive/z.

If it occurs for all users, perhaps there is a reference to /cygdrive/z in
one of the startup scripts (search all text files in /etc and its
subdirectories, you can use Windows search or grep -R "/cygdrive/z" *)

Another possibility is that a Windows environment variable is being
inherited. Open a command prompt (Start-Run cmd.exe) and type set. Look
for any entries with Z:. Use The System Control Panel (aka My Computer
Properties) to change Windows environment variables.

Hope one of these helps.

Thanks for your help Kevin. Sorry for my original terse post.

I tried the commands that you suggested and got the follwing response:

***************************
$ net use
New connections will be remembered.

Status Local Remote Network

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

---
Unavailable  N:        \\nova\user_data          Microsoft Windows Network
***************************
there is no z: drive, so I do not understand where z: comes into it when my
ssh session fails.
I would like to use a local user for the file transfers I plan to do. I am
logged into the Win2K box as a domain user however. Could that be part of
the problem?
Thanks again for your help.
Jim
