Fabric and cygwin don't work with windows UNC paths
- by tcoopman
I have some strange problems with fabric deployment to Windows Server 2008r2.
The thing I try to accomplish is to copy some files to a shared folder with a fabric script (this script does a lot of other things too, but only this step gives me problems).
This is the problem:
When I try to access a UNC(Universal Naming convention) path I always get access denied kind of answers if I run the script in fabric. When I run the command in an ssh prompt (same user) it works fine.
Examples:
cmd: robocopy f:/.... //share
result: in ssh this works fine, in fabric I get "Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type aat this computer."
cmd: cd //share
result: in ssh this works fine, in fabric I get "//share: Not a directory"
Further information:
uname -a and whoami return exact the same thing in fabric and ssh.
I also tried things like mount, net use, but these commands all have kind of the same problem.
