How to create a file named "0" on hosting server (CentOS)

Question

When I create a new file named 0 on my VPS, I always get a directory 0 instead of the file.

It happens in the case when I upload a file 0 or create a file by touch 0.

It seems that 0 has a special meaning on ext3 Linux file system.

Could you advise on it?

Additionally, how can I create a 0 file on Node.js?

Answer 1

This was actually not an error and was related to the UI issue File Manager in Cpanel.

In File Manager it (0) looks like a folder, but it must be a file. I confirmed it by cat 0.
