Re: [cobalt-developers] Strange dir entry

I have problem in accessing a directory on my raq2

I can see the dir, but when i want to go there it tells me dir doesn't
exist

Using telnet I did a DIR and the directories will show up including the dir
which i cannot access, however the directory name is listed bith a
backslash at the end.
So that is the problem, a dir entry with a backslash, but how can I remove
it or rename it?

It keeps saying dir doesn't exist even when i say ren dirname\ newname

You say 'dir' and 'ren', is this a Windows machine? If it's linux, this is the sollution:

$ rm -rf ./"directoryname\\"

Or if you just want to rename it

$ mv ./"directory\\" newname
