FTP File deletion

[Pulse]

Not with wsftple but you can with other ftp programs and Windows or Internet Explorer.

Use this in Windows: ftp://ftp.username@ftp01.powweb.com

In Internet Explorer use:

ftp://youruser:yourpassword@ftpserver.com

I have the same "issue" with 2 of the 3 FTP programs I've got installed on my computer (Linux). They refuse to delete a non-empty folder, while the third could care less. :confused:

WS_FTP pro will do a recursive delete on a folder that is not empty. It has a couple of other annoying "features" that make it a pain to work with on a day to day basis, but for that specific purpose it works well.

If it won't delete an empty folder, put something in it! :D

hehe,
well its like this
i got a new version for my website and i wanted to delete all old
files. but it just didnt want to delete the folder so it would have been faster for me

In WS_FTP Pro Go to the Tools menu . Select Options , then open the Common folder. The first item is Allow deletion of non empty folders - check the box and delete away!

It works that way in my version 7.02 anyway.

Someone else in another thread was using wsftp_pro and discovered a setting that had disabled the ability to delete empty folders. He enabled it and successfully deleted the empty folder. Check it out for future use.

kcvideo, thanks. I didn't get back to the other thread to include the instructions. ;)
