i USE the COMMAND in windows server 2003 (not the cmd, the COMMAND)
that means i can't just put "" around the folder name or access it normally, i have to code it like dos does (the 8 byte thing).
so with a normal long file i do the first 6 LETTERS then ~1 (or 2 and so on)
but when its a digit only name (like 5963564)
it is coded differently, something involving letters too, and i couldn't figure it out, is there anyone who knows how to acces it?
thanks.Im not familiar with windows server ... is there no way you can use long FILENAMES ? I have just tested command out on my xp system and it reports them faithfully.

What does dir show you for the names ??

if 5963564 is the file/folder in question its because thats a 7 digit number. 596356~1

if dir /x doesent show a name read this [url][http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/61cd1970-5254-47c2-96d4-a66c780446381033.mspx?mfr=true/url]

instead of "" have you tryed '' ?



I have had this issue and I just tried using:

dir
dir ...
dir,
dir.
dir ..

The other vey helpful command is "CALL" . That is all
