[Solved] ls -l in CentOS 6.4 after upload using sftp

Hi everyone,
Something rather interesting just happened to me. I uploaded a file to a server through sftp. I closed the connection and then logged on to the server via ssh. So far so good.
When I typed ls -l in the remote server to retrieve a directory listing, the file that was previously uploaded is displayed as follows:
Code:
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  2777 Oct 29 23:10 nginx-centos6*

That is, with a trailing "*". I tried renaming the file but the symbol is still there. What gives?
Any tips will be more than welcome! Smilie

Is your ls command aliased with, for example, -F?

An extract from /etc/DIR_COLORS:

Code:
# Extra command line options for ls go here.
# Basically these ones are:
#  -F = show '/' for dirs, '*' for executables, etc.
#  -T 0 = don't trust tab spacing when formatting ls output.

That's to say that the asterisk may merely be part of the output of ls and not part of the filename.

[SOLVED] Ls -l in CentOS 6.4 after upload using sftp

Scott,
Thank you so very much for taking the time to reply to this post! Yes, you are correct, it turns out that ls is aliased to:
Code:
alias ls='/bin/ls $LS_OPTIONS'

where
Code:
root@centos [~]# echo $LS_OPTIONS
--color=tty -F -a -b -T 0

Thanks again!
