I'm kind of lost here, I see a dir. "{};" while listing files and dir. (FYI.... I enclosed the dir. {}; in double quotes), not sure how this dir. got created in first place.

# ls -lt | more
total 279320
-rwxrwx--- 1 root system 105 Jan 10 12:13 test.sh
drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 16384 Jan 10 09:33 {};

I cannot cd or even rename that dir. either:

# cd {};
_cd[3]: {}: not found.

# mvdir {}; testdir
Usage: mvdir Directory1 Directory2
ksh: testdir: not found.

When I do find, it lists the files in dir. "{};" but cannot access those files either.

# find . type f -print | xargs ls -ld | more

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

mv '{};' blah

ls -li

find . -inum inode_number -exec mv {} blah \;

Thanks frank_rizzo it worked.

You could always use ls -b
For example:
mkdir '/tmp/some
silly and stupid directory with $HOME and \\ and # and {};'
ls -b /tmp
