hi all,
I'm accessing the server using the ssh command and i had use the "rm" command to delete a file, and i would to know how can i access to the trash to view the deleted files?

I may be wrong, but I'm fairly sure that 'rm' removes or deletes the file permanently. Unlike Windows, in Linux, 'delete' is like herpes. It's forever... To see what is in your trash, you'll likely find it in your home directory as a hidden file - .Trash. cd to it and have a look...

I think you misunderstood what DapperDan was saying. He meant that the deleted files may be in a hidden file called .Trash (the dot in front of the word is important). So use "cd" to go to that directory and see if anything is in it.

In other words,

cd .Trash

Do this from your home directory.

i got it already, if no trash exits, that means the file was remove permanently after the rm command is executed

A good thing to do before a rm is: think, think read the man and think. Then personnally as I'm sometimes doing lot of things in the same time I just add the i option it gives:

# rm -i docoutils.zip 
remove docoutils.zip?
