Yes, id does not make any sense. When I ls -al the fodler is shows
the permissions and files size as questions marks. Any command I can
think to run against these files i.e. unlink, cp, mv, rm ... give me
an error 'No such file or directory'.
I'll open a ticket with the data center. If they have an answer, I'll
post it back here.
Sincerely,
Mike
