Description Mads Rasmussen 2004-05-04 13:15:52 UTC

Please help me out,

I have downloaded some files with international characters in the filename

Somehow I cannot access these files, I keep getting stat errors.

With ls I can see the files, however with ls -al I get a "cannot stat <filename> - filename not found" error msg

I cannot rename nor delete the files - it has some ? and ~ chars in it

I cannot even list the inodes involved (ls -i)

--show-control-chars, makes no difference

I have tried midnight commander, a console filemanager, but it also fails to access the files

Here is an example:

bash-2.05b# ls
demo spanish espa?ol.zip 

bash-2.05b# ls -al
ls: demo spanish espa?ol.zip: No such file or directory

This bug has been inactive for more than 90 days.

Can this still be reproduced?
