Problem: ‘…reading transmission… Y.O.U. .C.A.N.’.T. .S.E.E. .M.E. …transmission ended…’ Maybe something lies in /problems/you-can-t-see-me_4_8bd1412e56df49a3c3757ebeb7ead77f.

Solution:

Using the shell server cd /problems/you-can-t-see-me_4_8bd1412e56df49a3c3757ebeb7ead77f

Use ls -la to see all the files.

Returns:

drwxr-xr-x   2 root       root        4096 Mar 25  2019 .
-rw-rw-r--   1 hacksports hacksports    57 Mar 25  2019 .                                                                  
drwxr-x--x 556 root       root       53248 Mar 25  2019 ..

We want to see . but it also the name of the directory and cat doesnt like that. So pass it by using cat .*

Return:

cat: .: Is a directory
