RE: SFTP error 128


You need both local and domain accounts in Cygwin.
Restore your local accounts (especially root) by re-running
"/etc/postinstall/passwd-grp.sh.done".

Then add your domain accounts by APPENDING (>>) to the passwd and group
files.

Hello:

I set read & execute permission on C:\ for Domain Usera and set modify for
Domain Users on C:\Cygwin but I am still getting this error.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
  Neil
