Hello, I am trying to locate a graphical file manager for Xfree86 running
under cygwin
I have tried to compile xfm 1.4.3 and got it working under xfree86 under
cygwin, but it does not allow access to non cygwin directories.
It complains saying Directory is Unreadable.
/cygdrive doesn't show up in the root, so I created a symlink with:
Why not create a dir /cygdrive? ls /cygdrive will show all c, d, e... drivers.
And I create a dir /dev, link cdrom to scd0, then use /dev/cdrom I have raw access
to the first CD-ROM.
ln -s /cygdrive/c /cygdrivec
I'm guessing it has trouble following a symlink from /cydrivec to
/cygdrive/c/
Can anyone suggest a working file manager?
I use xfce.
Thanks.
If anyone wants the Imake.options I can post or email.
Does anyone know where I can find a compiled binary for xfm or a similar
client.
I don't want to have to install the kde files or xfce.
My plan is to use cygwin / xfree86 via ssh to do remote support of windows
machines.
Thanks for any help.
