从 WSL（Linux 的 Windows 子系统）写入 Windows 磁盘

Question

I'm in need to share files between Linux (using WSL) and Windows, so that I can edit in Windows and compile in Linux. According to recomendations from Microsoft I should then keep my shared files under the drive in /mnt/ (/mnt/c/ in my case). Problem I have is that trying to write to that drive in Linux yields a Operation not permitted, I need to do sudo for all writes. How can I change this so that I have write possiblitites from my Linux?

thanks

In WSL /mnt/c is a mount of the root of drive C ( C:\\ ) in Windows. You should not store files in the root of Windows' system drive - this is normally write protected for normal users which I guess is what you experience.

The correct thing to do is moving in deeper to your Windows user folders, fx /mnt/c/Users/YOU/Documents . Here you are permitted to write files from WSL.
