mdir - display an MSDOS directory
SYNOPSIS
mdir [ -w ] msdosdirectory
mdir [ -w ] msdosfile [ msdosfiles... ]
DESCRIPTION
Mdir displays the contents of an MSDOS directory.
Mdir will allow the following command line option:
w Wide output. This option will print the filenames across the page without displaying the file size or creation date.
An error occurs if a component of the path is not a directory.
MSDOS subdirectory names are supported with either the '/' or '' separator. The use of the '' separator or wildcards will require the
names to be enclosed in quotes to protect them from the shell.
The mcd command may be used to establish the device and the current working directory (relative to MSDOS), otherwise the default is A:/.
SEE ALSO mcd(1)BUGS
Allows multiple arguments, which does not follow the MSDOS convention.
There is no /P (pause) option.

mcopy - copy MSDOS files to/from Unix
SYNOPSIS
mcopy [ -tnvm ] sourcefile targetfile
mcopy [ -tnvm ] sourcefile [ sourcefiles... ] targetdirectory
DESCRIPTION
Mcopy copies the specified file to the named file, or copies multiple files to the named directory. The source and target can be either
MSDOS or Unix files.
The use of a drive letter designation on the MSDOS files, 'a:' for example, determines the direction of the transfer. A missing drive des-
ignation implies a Unix file whose path starts in the current directory
Mcopy will allow the following command line options:
t Text file transfer. Mcopy will translate incoming carriage return/line feeds to line feeds.
n No warning. Mcopy will not warn the user when overwriting an existing file.
v Verbose mode.
m Preserve the file modification time.
If the target file already exists, and the -n option is not in effect, mcopy asks whether or not to overwrite the file.
MSDOS subdirectory names are supported with either the '/' or '' separator. The use of the '' separator or wildcards will require the
names to be enclosed in quotes to protect them from the shell.
The mcd command may be used to establish the device and the current working directory (relative to MSDOS), otherwise the default is A:/.
SEE ALSO mcd(1), mread(1), mwrite(1)BUGS
Unlike MSDOS, the destination directory may not be omitted.
The '+' operator (append) from MSDOS is not supported.
No other Mtools command requires the use of a drive letter designation on MSDOS files.

Hello,
We use a very basic version of unix via putty and are not experts by any means.
We accidentally submitted the statement: "mkdir -l" ("dash-letter L) and a new directory was created. Putty/UNIX will now not recognize the statement "rmdir -l". When we run a "ls -l" command, it shows... (3 Replies)
I have some files that appear to have no inode numbers. To complicate the matter, the filenames have UTF8 (I think) characters.
I am trying to delete them. In fact, and this might make things easier, I'm trying to delete their parent directory.
I don't know what to try next, please help.
