After reading about all the other attempts, I'm thinking there might be a problem with your filesystem. I don't know why you think the file is a directory -- your system isn't saying that it is a directory: ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? 2006-07-10 - S¦§¨£gl¦§¦¢pur That is very troubling output. Your system doesn't know what type of file it is, who owns it, etc. You don't have permission to rename it or delete it. I would start with chown and chmod commands. The file command will normally tell you what type of file it is, but I'm not sure that will work in this case. Mike
