fatal: unable to open input file

[AndrewBuckley]

after starting, debugging and ultimately breaking my hobby OS(learn from my mistake and LEARN HOW TO USE GIT FIRST) i shelved the project. now months later i figured out git and moved a copy of the source to a new server and am trying to reinstall all the assemblers and compilers i need, but now i'm at a loss. I have installed nasm but when ever i run it i get the message
" 'asm: fatal: unable to open input file 'start.asm "
Am i missing some program or is my home directory encryption doing me in?

checked case sensitivity? is start.asm in the current directory?

yes I have not changed any file names or the compiling script.
when i run the command with sudo i cannot open input file and when i dont i cannot open output file.
