cp Copying from Suse to Windows

[Shadycat]

Hi All,

Has anyone come across this problem;

cp: failed to preserve ownership for /mnt/mysvr/myfile.Wed/2008-01-23-02-02-17_myfile_locale.tar': Operation not permitted

I get it for every file that is copied from a SUSE 9 box to a SVR2003 box, I have the drive mounted with a user that has full rights. Is there anyway of stopping the error when using cp?

Script is as follows
#!/bin/bash
b=$(date +%a)
rm -r /mnt/mysvr/somefile.$b
mkdir /mnt/mysvr/somefile.$b
cp -a -v /home/backup/folder/* /mnt/mysvr/somefile.$b

More of an annoyance really but any advise would be good.

Is it an NTFS partition? That's probably why. Try downloading 3g-ntfs. That should give you write access to NTFS.
