Solaris-ksh: directory not found
Solaris 8 using ksh:

I have a directory called apps...in that directory there are some flat files and some directories. I can't access one particular subdirectory called netscape-old. I am NOT logged in as root

Here is the info...
Code:
user@machine[/apps]>ls -l
drwxr-xr-x   3 root     other        512 Apr 17  2003 iplanet/
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other       8022 Jul 17  2002 LICENSE.txt
drwx------   2 root     root        8192 Sep  6  2002 lost+found/
drwxr-xr-x   3 root     other        512 Sep 10  2002 netscape-old/
drwxr-xr-x   3 root     other        512 Jul 15  2003 netscape/

user@machine[/apps]>cd netscape-old
ksh: netscape-old:  not found

user@machine[/apps]>ls -ld netscape-old
netscape-old: No such file or directory

Any ideas why I can't access this directory? I have read permissions on it.

1) can you get into the netscape dir?
2) try ./netscape-old or use the full path to that directory.

From the apps directory, run the command:
/usr/bin/ls -lb
and post the results of that.

I am able to get into the netscape directory and any other directory within apps ( with the exception of netscape-old ).
Here are the results from /usr/bin/ls -lb

Code:
user@machine[/apps]>/usr/bin/ls -lb
total 121604

drwxr-xr-x   3 root     other        512 Apr 17  2003 iplanet
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other       8022 Jul 17  2002 LICENSE.txt
drwx------   2 root     root        8192 Sep  6  2002 lost+found
drwxr-xr-x   3 root     other        512 Sep 10  2002 nes\010tscape-old
drwxr-xr-x   3 root     other        512 Jul 15  2003 netscape

Now netscape-old looks a lot different Smilie
I tried the following:

Code:
user@machine[/apps]>cd nes\010tscape-old
ksh: nes010tscape-old:  not found

That \010 is a backspace character. Try something like:
cd *-old

Thanks Perderabo. It worked!

-b Forces printing of non-printable characters to be in
the octal \ddd notation.
