Thanks, that solved the problem! Okay, after some trial and error, I got to the point where I corrected this. I encountered some permissions errors, but set chown for the temp and the windows directories (-R) to my user group Emiricol. The violent angry permissions error has stopped, but I now get the following two popup error messages (console messages underneath these two). ======================== 1) - "Error: Unable to create a directory under C:\Program Files\nbos\fwe1.3\Samples. Please check your access rights to this directory" I ran ls -al and -la after looking up ls: $ ls -la total 88 drwxr-xr-x 4 Emiricol root 4096 Sep 17 14:51 . drwxrwxr-x 4 Emiricol wine 4096 Sep 16 16:45 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 Emiricol root 57737 Sep 16 16:46 DeIsL1.isu -rw-rw-r-- 1 Emiricol Emiricol 1222 Sep 17 14:48 DeIsL2.isu -rw-rw-r-- 1 Emiricol Emiricol 1222 Sep 17 14:53 DeIsL3.isu drwxr-xr-x 6 Emiricol root 4096 Sep 16 16:45 fwe1.3 drwxr-xr-x 11 Emiricol root 4096 Sep 16 16:45 Mapper6 $ ls -ls total 80 64 -rw-r--r-- 1 Emiricol root 57737 Sep 16 16:46 DeIsL1.isu 4 -rw-rw-r-- 1 Emiricol Emiricol 1222 Sep 17 14:48 DeIsL2.isu 4 -rw-rw-r-- 1 Emiricol Emiricol 1222 Sep 17 14:53 DeIsL3.isu 4 drwxr-xr-x 6 Emiricol root 4096 Sep 16 16:45 fwe1.3 4 drwxr-xr-x 11 Emiricol root 4096 Sep 16 16:45 Mapper6 ------------------------ 2) - "Error:General file transfer error.
