- Cygwin is a POSIX emulation layer. Please use slashes, not backslashes:
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames
- The default prefix for drive letters is /cygdrive, not /cygwin:
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#cygdrive
- Using the UNC notation with two leading slashes for network paths is
allowed in Cygwin. Examples are throughout the entire User's Guide
section:
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames
Did I mention the User's Guide?
