WS_FTP permissons issue

juggernaut · 2006-03-30, 12:18 PM

If anyone can help that would cool cause I took the day off to work on my sites and have been sitting her for 4 dam hours and got shit done cause of this. I have uploaded a folder and the plugins inside are not working correctly so I tried to delete it. I was able to delete it before but for some reason this is like the 3rd time I have upload it. Now it wont let me.
The permissons are 777 and I have the option to allow non-empty folders to be deleted but when ever I change them now on this folder they dont take. I ether get an error stating the folder is not empty or I get a 553 error permisson denied. Help Please.. I once had a tool to force this, but cant find it on on the web anymore.

Are there any spaces in the file names of the folder or it's contents? I find that will often cause permission errors in ws_ftp.
In those cases, I ask Trev to handle them, his cuteftp doesn't seem to have such issues.

Contact your server tech to give you back permission.

I had that happen once when tring to get a script to work,
they said something about PHP files and the server considered it
like an attack or something like that.

Anyway, the server tech returned permission back to me and I was able
to delete the files.

Yeah I had to contact them. I dont know what was wrong the file did have a dot in the name but like I said it was working before. I could remove it without issues so maybe they locked out something. Ticket is in. Such a waste of a day, I'll go wash the new car, that will make me happy
