hİ,

I am trying create repository for snapshot but I have a error.  
I am using elasticsearch 2.0.0 on windosws 10.

my error is :

access denied ("java.io.FilePermission" "C:\Users\hilal\Desktop" "read\

What can I do?

What user is ES running as? Possibly not related to this problem, but I suspect you may want to use forward slashes instead of backslashes.

Thank you. I restarted my computer

My codes:

PUT \_snapshot/my\_backup  
{  
"type" : "fs",  
"settings" : {  
"location" : "/Users/hilal/Dekstop/backup"  
}}

result :

{  
"Acknowledged" : true  
}
