When I telnet into my domain and ask it to list my files it simply lists www@[nbsp][nbsp]I cannot figure out how to get to my cgi bin to untar a file I have there. my domain is julies.net

Hello,

The directory you are in contains only a symbolic link to your www directory (hence the @ sign). You will need to back up one directory:

cd ..

Notice there has to be a space before the .. unlike in DOS...

Then you can just cd cgi-bin and you'll be all set :)

Let me know if this helps.
