Delete Folder
I accidentally created a folder called Rocky\\ on a ftp server.. I can't find any way to delete it.. I tried moving it, copying it, chmodding it, deleting it, and renaming it.. everytime, i get an error saying Prohibited File Name or Invalid folder name..
Does anyone know of a way to delete it?
Thanks

rm -f /path/to/wherever/foldername
no.. what is the raw command to delete it?Robpol86 wrote:u try deleting it by typing in raw commands? i had to when i wanted to manage some .htaccess files via ftp (no ssh for me..)
edit: nevermind.. i figured it out.. i made a custom command in my ftp program: RMD %d/Rocky\\ and it worked!
Thanks alot everyone

yeah, well... meh..... try running an FTP server on a stupid windows box.
oi..... IIS is so complicated on user permissions managment.... yeah
i had it misconfigured at one time, and somebody got into it and made some folders that they were starting to use for their own hosting, warez, etc....
well, i immediatly found out and reconfigured it so they couldnt do that anymore, but those stupid folders they made i cant delete for the life of me.
They make the explorer give out uber errors if i try to browse to them, and i cant figure out any kind of ftp commands to access or delete them. (not even with admin privledges) They are like, folders with the name of "\n\\0xc./<jason>". Obviously many things that windows would never let you normally name a folder. Some hex in there as well.....
so yeah.... to this day, those damn folders are still sitting in my ftp root.
........oi

Would a command like the one boss used work through ftp?
... err that was a stupid question but... There has got to be a windows version...
I say you should have allowed it at the time, and used you logs to figure out who the who is downloading the things, and linking (Not to say I would have done that... I would have restricted access as the first thing I did)....
