1) For unix... are you connecting to Solaris, HP, other ??
Also, type
Code:
uname

as the command to find out about your unix version.
2) Are you using Windows 7, Windows XP, or ?? for your PC

We can start with those two.

The ~ version of filenames when displayed in MSDOS 8.3 notation is to handle filenames which might not be unique when truncated. This gets progressively more complicated the more similar filenames you have:

To see both versions at a CMD prompt use "dir /X":

Code:
dir /X my_very_long*

18/02/2011  23:55                 7 MY_VER~1.TXT my_very_long_filename.txt
18/02/2011  23:55                 7 MY_VER~2.TXT my_very_long_filename2.txt

Obviously we need to know what Operating Systems you have and what you typed.
