    Hello.

    I use smartftp, and by accident I CHMOD'ed a folder to 0. I want to delete it now but I can't. I can't change the CHMOD settings. How do I delete it?

    do you have ssh access?
    or do you have any control panel?

    If you can ssh to the box, you should be able to delete it from the command line. Something like 'rm /path/to/file' should do the trick.

    If you dont have SSH access, try changing it back to 755 and deleting it, if fails, ask your host to do it for you.
