Hi,

I have a windows 2003 FTP server which I have to clear down sometimes as
many old files get left on there. However there are many files I can't
remove from certain folders as I think these were Apple Mac files, how can I
easily remove these?

Thanks

What do you mean with "Can't remove"? What happens when you try?
 
Re: Can't delete certain files on ftp server

It says "cannot delete file: cannot read from the source file or disk" the
tyoe of file is just "file" and no more information. The file is called art
something so it must be a Apple Mac file. Can't even rename them.

Re: Can't delete certain files on ftp server

In this case I would delete the file using the same tool that created it.

Re: Can't delete certain files on ftp server

That's the problem, it's an FTP site which external constomes use, so i have
no idea.
