[Tinyos-help] Uploading error on windows with tmotesky

[Xavier Orduña]

Hi,

Maybe we are on the right way, I try "cat COM7" and I get: "Permission 
denied"

It's more funny what it gives if I tape: "ls -l COM7"

$ ls -l COM7
----------    1 ???????? ????????        0 Jan  1  1970 COM7

Do you have any idea?

This only happens on my laptop, I tried to work in my workstation 
(almost the same windows and configuration) and it works.

Thanks

Xavi
