linuxls
Result of ls contains folders with empty names
The IT guys in my company grant me permissions so that I can ssh onto a server.
However when I invoked command ls -alh / it shows:
As you can see there are many directories shown with empty names (except for those with permission rwxrwxrwt). This also happens in my home folder:
Another weird thing is I can cd to one of the "hidden" folders like /mnt even if I can't "see" it.
In what condition could this happen? Is my permission set incorrectly by IT guys?
Solution
Most likely, ls is aliased in such way that it is invoked as ls --color which somehow messes with terminal settings. You may list all aliases by running alias. Your options:
- Run ls as
ls -alh --color=none - Remove alias (affects current session only):
unalias ls
