Debian: Unable to delete or change permission (no such file or directory)

Hello,

I tried rm and change permission chmod but its not working.
Keeps giving me no such file or directory exist while i can clearly see the directory using filezilla and even browse it.
any idea?

thankss

 

Chances are you're probably logged in as a non-root user, or you're attempting to remove files that are not owned by you, in a directory that is. Let us know more about your FileZilla configuration.

 

I'm logged in as root and i even tried using putty SSH as root and same result.. :/

 

Hello there,

They could be immutable files:

Oh ok! so is there a way to delete the file? using chattr?

 

first try:

chattr -ias <file>
then
rm -f <file>

 

Hello,

Sadly it didn't work:
chattr: No such file or directory while trying to stat music mix.mp3

 

Have you tried tab autocompletion? For example, rm. [TAB]

 

Yes that's the first thing i tried and just tried it now..
Whats happening is very weird :/

 

Just come across with the following URL. Hopefully helpful J

Please try putting apostrophe's around the filename:
'music mix.mp3'

or

music\ mix.mp3

 

Yes that didn't work.

 

Great!! Thanks all this worked:

find . -printf "%i %f\n"

Code (markup):

once the ID shows ex: 53608458
do:

find . -inum 53608458 -delete

Code (markup):

Regards!!
