Sorry to bother you, but I've spent hours Googling, can't figure this out. 
Also did  man ls    and   man ln

Using BasicLinux 2.1, I started up computer "FIC" ;
its /tmp is a symbolic link to
 /hd/lin3/tmp/  , which is on partition  hda5
 ( /root  is on  partition hda2 )

I made a  testfile  in the  /root  directory, and when I said
ls -aln /root/testfile, the result was:
-rw-r--r--   1 0        0              10 Oct 31 18:20 /root/testfile

And I copied /root/testfile to  /tmp/, and got the same result from ls.

I did the commands to let FIC be a server to computer "ASUS".
When I said   ls -aln /fic/root/testfile   on ASUS, the result:
-rw-r--r--   1 0        0              10 Oct 31 18:20 /fic/root/testfile

But when, on ASUS, I said   ls -aln /fic/tmp/testfile 
the answer was
ls:  /fic/tmp/testfile:  No such file or directory.


Thanks much,
