Deleting a file on server using Terminal

[jvaska]

Unfortunately, somebody else has ended up creating some files on the server that I need to either change the name of or delete...example...

Joke\'sOver.inc.php

Problem is that because of the "\" I can't seem to simply change the name or delete it. Is there a way with unix commands via Terminal that I can get to this? So far, simply trying to rename it or view the contents won't work.

Thanks...v

unless you have another file with a very similar name, try something like:

rm Joke*.inc.php

?

Ah, wildcard, good call. Thanks for the pointer.
