Using Cygwin Utilities: cygpath to convert windows path ↔ to linux path
steps
- launch cygwin
- input the following commands after $ symbol
convert windows path to linux path
local directory e.g. c:\Program Files\
$ cygpath -u 'c:\Users\User\Desktop\' /cygdrive/c/Users/User/Desktop/ enclose the whole path with single quote symbol if the path contains white space characters $ cygpath -u 'c:\Program Files\' /cygdrive/c/Program Files/
remote directory (network drive) e.g. \\remote\test path\
//method1
$ cygpath -u '\\remote\test path\'
//remote/test path/
//method2
enclose the whole path with single quote symbol
$ path = '\\remote\path\'
$ echo "${path//\\//}"
//remote/path/
$ path = '\\remote\test path\'
$ echo "${path//\\//}"
//remote/test path/
switch to the specified local directory
//method1 $ cd "$(cygpath -u 'c:\Program Files\')" $ pwd /cygdrive/c/Program Files //method2 $ cygpath -u 'c:\Program Files\' /cygdrive/c/Program Files/ copy the above path & paste to the console $ cd /cygdrive/c/Program Files/ $ pwd /cygdrive/c/Program Files
troubleshooting
enclose the whole path with single quote symbols ex: cygpath -u 'c:\Program Files\' if the path contains spaces $ cygpath -u c:\Program Files\ met error, press ctrl+c to escape enclose with double quote symbols after cd command ex: cd "$(cygpath -u 'c:\Program Files\')" if the path contains spaces $ cd $(cygpath -u 'c:\Program Files\') -bash: cd: /cygdrive/c/Program: No such file or directory $ cd '$(cygpath -u 'c:\Program Files\')' -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
convert linux path to windows path
local directory
$ cygpath -w '/cygdrive/c/Program Files/' c:\Program Files\
remote directory (network drive)
$ cygpath -w '//remote/test path/' \\remote\test path\
