Assuming you mean a blank in a name, simply use quotes to remove it:

$ touch " testfile"
$ ll |head -3
total 23568
-rw-rw-r-- 1 plr support 0 Sep 9 06:50 testfile
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root sys 3123 Jun 20 2002 Awk.html
$ rm " testfile"
$ ll | head -3
total 23568
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root sys 3123 Jun 20 2002 Awk.html
-rw-rw-r-- 1 plr support 610 Jan 27 2004 Closed
$

hi ( ),

you can just rename it either by using a graphical tool that you may have used to the FTP or rename it at the command line:

e.g. mv "test dir" testdir

hope this helps too!

or even if you don't know how many blanks there are inside the filename.

:/tmp/tmp# ls
rj
:/tmp/tmp# ls -i
2304 rj
:/tmp/tmp# find . -inum 2304 -xdev -exec mv {} rj \;
:/tmp/tmp# ls
rj

Regards,

do you try to rename it as below:
# mv "a bc" abc

[Geoff Wild]

Just rename it with quotes around it...

mv "new folder" "somethingusefull"

Since you are allowing PC users to connect to your box, you might as well start getting used to whitespace in your pathnames. Whitespace has always been legal in UNIX pathnames but its use has always been discouraged for the reasons you've found. Essentially all of my production scripts now assume that whitespace will be used so that quoting variables (e.g.) "${FNAME}" rather than simply ${FNAME} has become almost a personal habit. As soon as you "fix" your names this time more will appear so you might as well learn to live with what are perfectly legal pathnames.

One more thing, real UNIX guys NEVER use the term "folder"; that concept belongs in another OS and even there the correct term is directory. After all, even in that other OS there is no "MKFOLDER" comand; let's see, they use "MKDIR".

Hi æ 建 ,

It Seems that the folder got some control character.

try to check the folder through inode , and try moving to another with valid name.

1.
# go to onesetep down of the folder.
# ls -li | grep dr [ The first column will show the inode no .]

2. Try to move the directory with another name.
# find . -inum 2222 -xdev -exec mv {} newdir \;

[ Assuming 2222 is your inode number and newdir is the name of new dirctory , that will replace the dirctory containing space.]

Cheers ,
Raj.

thank you very much for all answer
use mv + double quotation marks is easy
