Come on, typing "sudo mount -t vboxsf sharedname /mnt/shared" is not a PITA (assuming Virtualbox), whichever way you look at it.Pumping files back and forth between a VM and a host is also a PITA
On Windows, there is no such clear advantage since process spawning is extremely slow and I have seen scripts that complete their job in minutes under *nix take an hour on Windows.Hence the request for help, save having to write something from scratch because I know *nix-alike scripts are better at juggling mass file processing.
Can I get more details so I may fix the script (i.e. with an example of the invocation)? Because here it works with invocations like "../../tree2flat.sh . ../flat".the current MinGW on SF, uses a bash shell that does not do what you tried either.
EDIT: Needs more work. cding into the dir makes the copy fail because you're no longer in the same directory level. I'll fix it.
EDIT2: making sure to generate a proper call script with top-level paths
Also, are even pipes not working on the MinGW shell?
