    Hi *,
               I have a peculiar problem,i had a file on windows whose name had
    an '&' character in it, and unfortunately i have ftp' ied it to my AIX box.
    When i am trying to delete the file, as soon as it encounters the '&'
    character, it comes out as abackground process, it does not even allow me to
    rename the file nor move the file in to a directory (so that i can knock of
    the directory). I suddenly got an idea,that i have connected from another
    system by FTP and renamed that file from ftp prompt, and then i could delete
    the file. I am sure there would be some way doing this from the local
    system.

    TIA
    Praveen.K
