    Ipswitch WS FTP help - Ive used Ipswitch WS FTP for years but have a problem when I try and delete a folder

    I have selected -- allow deletion of non empty folder

    Even though the folder is showing empty

    Any ideas how I can delete this folder as its doing my head in :confused: As its only happening with this one folder and I can delete any other folder in my root

    Thanks for your time

    It may be a little too obvious but can you change the security on the folder?

    This sort of thing drives me insane as well, it normally takes days to figure out what was wrong and it's normally something really simple as well.

    Perhaps try a different FTP client just to get rid of this folder? Or, if your web host has a file manager in the control panel you might be able to get rif of it from there, or change the security settings.

    Most likely not a wsftp issue.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers mate

    Its was a strange one as it showed no files yet the folder was 18k ??

    Took your advice and used Win SCP and that got rid of it after 5 attempts ( timing out )

    Just was very strange that the files were not showing , I do not know if there is a hidden feture to show these files but by getting rid of it has lost 300k of files (only caching files )

    ANy way thanks and fixed but this will bug me :cool:
