This does not make any sense. How does one 'remove' missing files? If the files are missing, then they are not there to be removed, and will not appear in any listing. Some terminals have colour coding to indicate things like directories, executables, etc. Try listing with this command: $ ls -al The -al will list all files, and give you the long versions of each file, so you will be able to see if you are looking at a directory, an executable, etc., who owns the files, and what permissions the files have. Also, you say that you are ssh'd in from a remote computer, and you 'have the files to replace them'. Where are the replacement files... on the Centos server, in some other directory than the one you want to move them to... or are the replacement files on your remote computer, with you. If the latter, then you have to use ftp or sftp to move the replacement files to the Centos server first, and then log in via SSH, to do whatever else needs doing, like perhaps uncompressing the g-zipped files, changing the owner, and permissions on the files, etc. -- -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ http://robertwittig.net/ http://robertwittig.org/ .
