just type "file filename" and it will tell you what type of file it is, replace filename with the name of the file, but the actual command is called file.

su should work. If you're logged in as "bob" and you want to switch to "steve" then "su steve" should prompt you for the password and then switch you to steve. If it doens't work then maybe su has been disabled on the server you're logging into.
