Hi Thomas,
Thanks a lot for your email!
The remote server runs Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise.
I have not exceeded the quota.
Cygwin cannot delete files on H in both root and sub directories.

OK, in your first message you wrote you can delete but not create files
which would have been strange.
That you can neither delete nor create files (but still existing files)
is actually more normal (in terms of Unix-like permission).
Just check the permissions of the directory, they should include write
access for you. If you are the owner, you can easily change that with
chmod +w /cygdrive/h. If you are not the owner of your own network
directory, ask your server administrator to fix that.

Hi Cygwiners,
I need a hint.
The network drive (\server\) is mounted as H:\.
Cygwin can access files on H drive; can modify/delete files on H
drive; however, it cannot create files. The program says permission
denied.
Do I need to write some configuration files?

What kind of network file system is it?
Assuming a Unix-like permission system, it is quite surprising that you can
delete files but not create any.
Or maybe you can delete (and create) files in a subdirectory but not create
(and delete) in the root directory H:\?
Otherwise it might be due to some unusual ACL settings on the remote side,
or maybe you have exceeded your quota (amount of allowed capacity) on the
remote server? Ask the administrator.
