Accessing DOS partition

[mws]

I am unable to properly mount a DOS partition from SCO Unix. I have a dual boot configuration set up with System Commander - 2 partitions - WindowsME (6GB) and SCO Unix (2GB). I also have another partition setup DOS-16 (200mb).

What's weird is that I can see the files on this partition in Unix (put them there in Windows), I can even rm them, but I can't copy files in from Unix.

I do have Read-Write access set up in mount config. I get an error message at bootup - "fsstat: there is no fsstat of type dos".

What am I missing?

oops my bad... what the problem was (or is) is that I have a mount point called /shared. Everytime I boot the system changed permissions on this folder back to root and I can not copy files in or out of this directory unless I first do a "chmod 777 shared" first.

Is there a way to set this up permanently to allow all users to copy files into and out of this directory?

If you can't tell, I am new to Unix. Thanks

do a manual page on doscp.

man doscp

it will show some other utils listed too.
just helpful commands for dos.

will try to help with the mount later.
