ls command to list long filename

ls command to list long filename

ls command to list long filename

(OP)
I had a problem to list long filename on solaris 8.
The filename likes : VHS-1234________________________________________________________________xyz.dat

Took time to list it and sometimes I can't list some directories contained this kind of filenames.
I also had a problem to copy this kind of filenames.
I used root to do cp command.
cp : can not access VHS-1234________________________________________________________________xyz.dat
Files owned by many users.
So I should use root to copy it.
Any suggestion to solve this problem?

RE: ls command to list long filename

Can you use wildcards? Why are the filenames so preposterously long?

Filename generated by application. All files stored on NAS.
Yes, I can use wildcards.
I can list very long filename using firefox browser.
Any setting should be done on Solaris 8 OS?

RE: ls command to list long filename

Hi Kasem, you should really start a new thread for this, but have you checked the permissions on /export/home/kasem
? The user Kasem would usually need read write and execute on this directory.
