I am parsing some directory lines using FTP and I am getting an error on this type of file:

drwx----SH   1   user   group   2048   JUL 27 2012   FOUND.000

Does anyone know what SH mean ?

Thanks.

  • It can mean anything because FTP listing formats are not standardized. Dec 11, 2012 at 9:20
  • what server host are you on, and what shell produced the output you posted? Dec 11, 2012 at 12:47

Given the name (it looks like one of those files created as part of disk repair), it's probably a Windows server at the other end, in which case SH would probably be a hidden system file.

Windows files attributes have (at a minimum) hidden, system and read-only.

  • Yeah, it is a hidden file, so your probably right.
