I remember asking this question before but can't remember where. Nothing shows up in this or my other list's archives nor in a google search under my name. The problem is that I saved an attachment sent by someone using Windows. The file name is of the form Axxxx Bxxxx Cxxxx.ZIP (note the spaces). when I try to manipulate it the error messages are: $ rm Axxxx Bxxxx Cxxxx.ZIP rm: cannot remove `Axxxx': No such file or directory rm: cannot remove `Bxxxx': No such file or directory rm: cannot remove `Cxxxx': No such file or directory Obviously Linux thinks this is 3 separate files. I remember being given the work around for this before when I posted the question but as I said I've lost it. Any help or pointers would be appreciated.
