Displaying Files

The following sections describe how to list server ﬁles from the MS-DOS

and UNIX operating system environments.

Displaying Filenames in the MS-DOS Format

To display the contents of a directory on the server, in MS-DOS format, use

the MS-DOS dir command from your client. In this display, all valid

MS-DOS ﬁlenames appear in all uppercase letters.

For example, the MS-DOS dir command displays the contents of a directory

on a server named CARPET.SERVE as follows:

F: >dir

Status: RO

Volume in drive F is CARPET_SERV

Directory of F:

Filenames that appear in the MS-DOS system are displayed in standard

MS-DOS format with the extension listed in a separate column.

NOTE: File or directory names that do not follow the MS-DOS format will not appear in the

directory list, even if the files or directories exist on the drive. To display such files

or directories, use the udir command, described in the next section.

Displaying Filenames in the UNIX System Format

The udir command enables you to display the contents of a directory on the

server. The format of the display is similar to that displayed by the UNIX

system ls -l command. The udir command is useful when you want to

display ﬁles and directories that are valid to the UNIX system but invalid to
