Direcotry structure not visible on Linux RedHat 2.4 i386 server.


Hi,
I am not able to see any subdirectories under data directory on Linux server.
Even the sub directories are not visible after ls -a command.
But,when I am doing a cd to one of the subdirectories,I am able to go to that directory.This implies the subdirectories are existing but they are not visible.
Please advice on this as the sub-directories exist but why they are not visible.

Thanks in advance

perhaps because you dont have enough permissions in that current directory (.)?
you need 'read' permission to see a directory listing, yet 'execute' permission to cd to it, iirc

I was able to see the subdirectories previously,All of a sudden it happened.
And I have both the read and execute permissions to the parent directory.
