Use VFAT on the exteral drive. no real file perms.

The problem is when I backup files over ssh to an external drive, they
are owned by the server. Later when I want to back up directly to the
drive, I will not have permissions to do so.

Sorry for the delay, just now went through your /etc/passwd. After
reading once more through your mail, if I understand correctly, when
you create a file through ssh, login to the _server_ with a user
account in the _server_ from a client, the files you create will be
owned but the _server_ account you logged in with. This is the correct
behavior.
Changing this behavior is not something I tried before.

I just got OpenSSH running through Cygwin and there are some ownership
issues. It seems that any file I create over ssh is then owned by the
host user (DELL4550\Family), not the client computer
(DELLNOTEBOOK05\Family). This creates problems when running backup
programs that utilize ssh.
Is there a way to correct this?
Thanks.
