root@blitz:~/ftpd/ftpd/site/projects/drive3/senior_design# mv ../../drive1/uploads/Bers* notice that the mv does not have the second parameter of the destination. I omitted this purposly... doing this will delete the first file it finds that matches Bers* note however, this is repeatable only if I'm using relative "../../" paths several directories in. typing the same thing but in the directory of the location of the file produces the correct result: root@blitz:~/ftpd/ftpd/site/projects/drive1/uploads# mv Bers* mv: missing file argument Try `mv --help' for more information. It's easy for hackers or anyone for that matter to delete files. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
