[LUG] Linux cli help!

 

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?!

Thanks in advance,
Matt.
