Hi,
Have you tried to install tkdesk? (it's in /usr/ports/x11-fm).
I have had the same thing happen. In text mode (non Xwindows) you have to put
either " or ' to the beginning and end of the file. Like
rm 'Start Menu' or rm "Start Menu"

with a program like tkdesk, the file shows up in a file manager box and you
hightlight and delete.

 Someone has logged into my system via anonymous FTP and uploaded a

 FTP or telnet.  The complete name as listed by 'du' is:
 /users/ftp/incoming/   .x  /for JUSTiSO/by KradLrobR/   (file of some type 
 here)
 When I try to cd to this directory I get:
 cd: Too many arguments.
 
 Anyone's help would greatly be appreciated.
 Thank You,
