None of this is about programming only using unix to surf the web.
Also friend you sound liie a cop do you need my ip also, maybe my cc#,
You might give us that kind of information because you asked for our help diagnosing a problem and we need that information to help you diagnose that problem.
Now that we know you're using a BSD derived system, we know that the default
ls output is likely to show certain control characters in filenames as sequences of other characters. I have never heard of a shell named
t and I have no idea whether or not it contains a built-in
ls utility that transforms names in some way.
Since some of the volunteers here know how some name transformations work, if we could actually see the exact diagnostic message produced by whatever utility is reporting "
file not found" and the output from
ls -l, we might be able to tell you how to open the file.
Maybe, if you're used to Windows instead of BSD, Linux, and UNIX Systems; you aren't aware that the files
Abc and
abc are two different files on those systems (even though either name would access a single file on many Windows systems).
Maybe there are <space>, <tab>, <carriage-return>, or <newline> characters in a filename. Multi-column
ls output may completely hide that information; but
ls -l output will in some cases make them that immediately obvious.
Maybe you have an alias installed for
ls that is adding a character to the end of a filename to indicate the type of that file.
Maybe lots of other possibilities are affecting you. If you don't want to show us what is going on, that is your choice. I am not a cop. I do not want you IP address. I do not know what a cc# is, and do not want to know your cc#. All I want is information that will help us help you open your file(s). I do know that the standard
ls utility on any BSD, Linux, or UNIX System will not show you the name of a file that does not exist.
