You need to spell it "--fast" (with two hyphens) rather than "-fast".

> C:\>gzip -l \\dmz-nas\backup<file:///\\dmz-nas\backup>
> gzip: \\dmz-nas\backup: Permission denied    <-- This is wrong. Permission allowed..

It looks like the shell is parsing this as "please run the command gzip 
with arguments '-l' and '\\dmz-nas\backup' and with standard input equal 
to 'file:///\\dmz-nas\backup', which is not what you want.  I'd quote 
the file name.

Hi, I want to let you know a bug what I found in my Windows 2008 environment.

I have a network share folder and put some backup files in this folder. Let say its name \\dmz-nas\backup<file:///\\dmz-nas\backup>
The following command works fine.
C:\>gzip -r \\gmz-nas\backup<file:///\\gmz-nas\backup>
C:\>gzip -d \\dmz-nas\backup<file:///\\dmz-nas\backup>

But those are not working.

C:\>gzip -r -fast \\dmz-nas\backup
gzip: invalid option - s                      <-- this is wrong. There is no -s option??

C:\>gzip -l \\dmz-nas\backup<file:///\\dmz-nas\backup>
gzip: \\dmz-nas\backup: Permission denied    <-- This is wrong. Permission allowed..


Always thanks to you guys!
