Good day to all. Being a newbie at Linux I have discovered a problem.
It's a user issue - ME!

From my shrike box, somehow I managed to ftp to my windows 2k server
and create a directory that displays in the window's browser as a
blank folder (ie. no name). When I use my linux box, there is no
directory name either. I cannot change permissions, take ownership - nada.

In addition, when I do a dir/x I can see the 8.3 name - yeah, sorta.
The name is 0200~1. I suppose I could dig out the old ASCII chart and
figure out what the 0200 is, but I'm not sure that would help.

I can't do anything with it. I've tried xcacls and several utilities
that I've found on the web, but no go.

If anyone can help I would appreciate it (btw: I would almost suspect
that there are child dirs as well).

Listing from shrike (yeah the win2k box uses dos listing, sorry)
05-15-04 01:24PM <DIR> <<< culprit
08-12-04 10:14AM <DIR> autostar
05-21-04 10:19AM <DIR> bob
