Deleting

[pikeinstew]

Is there a way to mass delete files? With the based tools [site manager], I can only seem to delete one file at a time, and I can't delete nonempty folders. With WSFTP I can delete multiple files, but not nonempty folders. I'm looking for a way to delete nonempty folders. Any suggestions?

Yes, use WS_FTP or other FTP program for mass deletions :D as I don't think it is possible with the free tools provided by Powweb.

But how can I delete nonempty folders with WSFTP?

But how can I delete nonempty folders with WSFTP?I don't have the program installed here at work, but there is an option to do that - try an 'options' menu somewhere.

Windows Explorer FTP will delete entire folders.

* In Windows Explorer, go to web address ftp://user:password@domain.com (substitute your information.)

* If necessary, select the File menu and choose Login As...

* Once in, save the FTP site in your favorites for quick access later.

Although you can certainly do that in some FTP programs, it's quicker with OcamlEditor.
Use "List" screen to nagivate, then [menu] -> Delete.

If you are using WS_FTP_Pro, then you can highlight the folder and hit the delete key to remove even folders that still contain files. I don't believe the LE version has this option available.

You can get FileZilla http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla if you want, it has the ability to delete non-empty folders.

(...and of course jj beat me to that answer)

Or also try FileZilla or CoreFTP. Both will do this. WSFTP Lite I think will do it, but by default it's set not to. You have to change the configuration.
