I just use expand drive its cheap and makes it look like samba drives but it can work on any machine you have ssh access to. I wouldn't use Samba because it's just not that secure.

But after using GNOME and Orca for a while I'm not going back. I'll probably use Windows and JAWS forever as my desktop OS, but Linux is still my favorite server OS. I like the Linux command line for system administration and that's what I use the virtual machine for. I use speakup and brltty to perform sys. Admin tasks on remote hosts (including my own web server). The reason I dropped cygwin for this is due to brltty's excellent handling of consoles and the VM also gives me 6 virtual consoles by default. I find the virtual consoles very powerful and useful. I'm considering setting up samba on my local web server to allow me to edit files using my favorite text editor in windows. But I guess expand drive is a better approach since this allows me access to remote machines using sshfs. I have shell access on all remote machines. But using cygwin to mount the remote filesystems over ssh sounds very interesting. I don't remember the command from the top of my head, but I remember that I've mounted remote filesystems from Linux using ssh... How do you do it? -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ken Perry Sent: 14. mars 2010 05:22 To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: jaws and seven: accessibility, settings, etc. I have dropped cygwin for the time and us vmware player but it's not the same. The orca is just slow as snails and I have yet to put speakup on. I have been thinking of using emacspeak till Jaws gets cygwin fixed but the reason I want to use cygwin is so I can use my favorite editor in windows. If boxer was in Linux and Linux x with orca was faster I would be gone from windows. Now with that all said FS is working on the problem so I am hoping they get it fixed quickly for now I am using Secure crt and expand drive to allow me to do what I used to do with cygwin. I have a vm ware machine running 3 Linux boxes and secure crt and expand drive but man I miss cygwin.

I actually have the same problem and it's a bit annoying. I've recently dropped cygwin and use a virtual linux machine instead, but haven't tried the virtual linux machine inside Win7 yet. -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ken Perry Sent: 13. mars 2010 20:05 To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: jaws and seven:accessibility, settings, etc. Everything does not work out of the box In fact FS is looking into the problems I am having with cmd.exe and cygwin and any command line type program if you use ssh to get to unix boxes stick with vista and xp right now. That or your going to have to put up with at best a lot of extra echoed crap.

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and JAWS 11. The only change I've done is to set Windows Explorer to show Details view instead of the default tiles. Then turn off grouping by going to the view menu and group by and press enter on None. Yep, that's it! -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tyler Littlefield Sent: 13. mars 2010 17:04 To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: jaws and seven:accessibility, settings, etc. Hello all, I'm debating putting windows seven on my laptop, and was going to get jaws 11. I know in xp there were a few settings that made things work better, is it the same for seven? What sorts of things need to be set for accessibility?
