(?) Files invisible via Telnet?

From Norris on Mon, 11 Oct 1999

First off, thank you for a good site, a real valuable source on all those little (and not so little) problems you run into :)

Second, im not sure if I should go and ask questions directly to you, but it seems others have done so, but if i am in error, please just ignore me :)

(!) You did it right: mail to the answerguy@ssc.com. It's a shame that so many people still send their questions to jimd@starshine.org (which is the same mailbox) because I can auto-sort LG mail from personal mail. However, that just comes with the territory.

(?) The Problem:

I have allowed telnet acces to my server, and i can login fine, i can su and so forth, but a lot of files just dont show up via telnet? i have messed with many combinations of file permissions, but that doesnt seem to do it... any help would be appreciated, thank you :)

Linux and UNIX have no mechanism for selectively "hiding" files based on the protocol through which you've logged in. html" >[ Index of Past Answers ] greetings 1 2 3 5 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57
