I'm getting problems copying files when running on my vista machine.
I've got full vista UAC control turned on.
I have a source file, and if I do getfacl I get:
$ getfacl analysisLanguageResults.gif
# file: analysisLanguageResults.gif
# owner: Tom
# group: None
user::---
group::---
group:SYSTEM:rwx
group:Administrators:rwx
group:Users:r-x
mask:rwx
other:---
If I copy the file with CP, the result has
# file: analysisLanguageResults.gif
# owner: Tom
# group: None
user::---
group::---
mask:rwx
other:---
As a result I can't read the resulting file, all I get is access denied.
I'm sure there's some cygwin setup I can do to fix this, but I kind of
hoped it would work out of the box.
Any ideas on how to make this work without having to chmod each file I copy?
