texte = ken, i began to suspect it was an invisible file. because, i could not see any additional files listed with my FTP GUI, only the ones which WebCat had returned, and all were named [NEWSDATE].html. (i forgot to mention, this is on a Linux/Apache WebCat6.) i attempted to use the CLI to remove the NEWS directory [rmdir NEWS]. but found, you can not remove a directory unless it is empty. so, i used the [ls -l] command, saw all the files and used [rm -f] to remove them one by one. after removing files, i still received the error: Directory not empty. so, i [mv -f NEWS NEWSold] , which changed the name of the directory to NEWSold. then created a new NEWS directory [mkdir NEWS] after this - PRESTO - Mysterious File gone! i then went back and looked into the NEWSold directory with a command which i discovered shows invisible files [ls -a], and there IT was. a file named [. . .html]. i promptly removed it! i was able to recreate the Mystery File by creating an entry in the NEWS.db with an empty [NEWSDATE] field and using [WRITEFILE] to create [NEWSDATE] pages and return the List page of all NEWS directory pages. thanks for the help. --rupert On May 21, 2005, at 11:41 PM, Kenneth Grome wrote: > On some platforms webdna lists invisible files.
