Default Trouble with file name in AIX 4.3.3.

I have AIX 4.3.3 and users access with ftp client.
Mu users created some directories with russian name. Some directories
now I can't delete and receive massage:
550: No such file or directory.

What can I do?

Try "find ./<searchpath> -name 'russian name' -exec rm -rf {} \;"
Perhaps the name expression with some wildcards.

man rm.

If this way does not delete your files/dirs you can delete by inode
number with unlink as a last resort. Not recommended.

What are the file names ? Have you tried using the "\" character to
ignore the meaning of special characters, such as ".", "/" etc?

ls -i

find . -inum {whatever} -exec rm -r {} \;

Be careful where you point "rm -r" <g>

for which codepage are these russian names ?
Possible you lost some characters in different russian codepages. AIX use ISO8859P5.
Try use same client and rmdir "russianed" directories from it.
