Hi All, I'm using PuTTY on a windows box to access a linux based NAS box via ssh. I'm trying to delete some files on it but cannot get them off. I think the files have bad filenames, ls -l shows: -rwxrw-rw- 1 guest guest 39936 May 26 2004 ## ABB ACS550.xls* It's the ##'s that bother me - not sure where they came from and what's with the * at the end? The filename comes up in green - does that mean anything? Also how come there's no f (indicating a file) at the start? When I try to delete the file nothing happens, the console just sits there, it still accepts keyboard input but doesn't do anything else. Can I abort a command once started instead of just closing the console window and logging in again? Any suggestions anyone?!
