[Klug-general] bash autocompletion to get file listing without permission

[David Halliday]

Can you do a
ls -l
on the directory(s) in question and post that? The permissions on and in
the directory(s).

Permissions can have some interesting knock ons.
I believe It is possible to have permission to read from a directory you
don't have permission to browse.
