How to go to remote directory in Cygwin?
Problem
I'm using the latest version of Cygwin to try to into a network drive on Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3. The path in Windows Explorer to this directory is something like: I tried mounting it to a drive letter ('X') in Explorer, which worked just fine, but then when I ran the command: It just froze there and hung. Any ideas how I can go into this directory and at least taking a listing of the files in there?
