Cannot delete uploaded files/folders

Postby Ace_Rimmer » Sun Nov 29, 2009 12:25 pm

First time using ftp so I thought I'd just test it on a load of junk folders, uploaded fine but now when I try and delete them I get an error "Can't remove directory: invalid argument", what am I doing wrong, these were just a load junk folders that I used to test it so I really don't want them there

So I open Wiseftp, connect and the folders appear on the right, I right click and select delete, it asks me to confirm which I do then I get the error and nothing is deleted.

Any ideas

Cheers

Hello,

If a directory is not empty you can only delete it when the option for deleting directories containing files was activated. To do so, follow these steps:

Go to the Options menu and open the Preferences window.

- Go to the Advanced tab.
- Activate the option Allow deletion of directories containing files.

Best regards,
