Problem:
--------
I can't get lynx to download anything using the default "save to disk" option.
Scenario:
---------
If I type "lynx http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe" and then use the default "save to disk" option,
the file appears to get downloaded, but then Lynx tries to use a weird "cp" copy program to copy
the temporary file to "setup.exe". The copy program it is trying to spawn appears to be:
/cygnus/CYGWIN~1/H-I586~1/bin/cp
and obviously, I don't have this path on my system.
The status line shows:
LYNXDOWNLOAD://Method=-1/File=/tmp/L224-1TMP.bin/SugFile=/tmp/setup.exe
when the "Download option" numbered [1] is selected.
Question:
---------
Is there a way to tell lynx to use "/usr/bin/cp"? Is there a way to stop lynx looking for stuff
with the weird path "/cygnus/CYGWIN~1/H-I586~1/bin"?
