Hi Bill,
the default shell when i login to the linux machine is the korn shell.
I have tried without the escaping of '/' and ' ' (space) ... it still doesnt
work ... ofcourse i tried 'chdir /view' but it reports an error. (since chdir
is not a shell-command).
I am stuck at this place for more than 5 hours and google aint helping me
either. :(
ANy help is most appreciable.
Ukh.

Why are you escaping a space and '/' ? 'cd /view' would seem to be fine
instead.

Musing a bit:
I assume the commands are being run through a shell on the remote host.
What shell are the commands being run under remotely ? Maybe try
'chdir /view' as an alternate if the fix above for cd doesn't work.
Could the telnet dameon be grabbing the cd command rather than passing
it to the shell ?
You would think that one command would be the same as any other as
long as it is in the path or built into the shell.
