Question

I have a problem which I will try to reproduce:

1)I get a SSH connection using the Terminal to access a remote server.

2)Then I run the command ls to list all content.

3)Here´s the problem: I don’t see the real content (folder and files), I just see other files which don’t exist at all.

I contacted my hosting support and they told me that they run the same command ls and they could see the real content. Then they told me that it could be a cache problem of my terminal and then I should clear my sessions.

How can I do this?

If I disconnect and reconnect the problem still persist.

The folder is: www

the content I get is:

www/ $ ls
bin    certs    conf  error   htdocs.off  include  logs    modules  sbin
build  cgi-bin  doc   htdocs  icons       lib      manual  private

What I expected is:

authorize.php        index.html      MAINTAINERS.txt  sites
cgi-bin          index.php       misc         
CHANGELOG.txt        INSTALL.mysql.txt   modules          themes
COPYRIGHT.txt        INSTALL.pgsql.txt   phpinfo.php      update.php
cron.php         install.php         profiles         UPGRADE.txt
drupal-noviembre.esproj  INSTALL.sqlite.txt  README.txt       web.config
drush            INSTALL.txt         robots.txt       xmlrpc.php
includes         LICENSE.txt         scripts

Answer 1

You are in your www directory of your webhoster and are looking for your htdocs folder where your webserver document root is.

Go in the htdocs folder:

$ cd htdocs
