ftp guys - simple question...
 

im using ws_ftp, and on one of my domains, i want to delete everything that's on my hosting for that domain.. but, i can't delete folders unless i open them, and delete all the contents... normally this wouldnt be a problem, but i have A LOT of folders, it'd take a long ass time to go through and do this

are there any ways to clear my hosting out, or at least delete folders even if files are in them?

get your host to do it :2 cents:

don't do it though FTP. Login into your server as root and take care of it though telnet

smartftp has a recursive delete option :thumbsup

pay some guy $65 an hour to delete some files ?

That program works great for hidden dirs :D

wtf you talking about fool?

i send an email across to nat net... 5 minutes later the entire domain contents has been deleted off my server

no cost :thumbsup

Check the settings of WS_FTP. There is an option "allow deleting of non empty directories".

Go get

Crystal FTP Pro

You can delete folders with it and you won't go back to WS_FTP after using it, trust me.

BINGO!!! http://smartftp.org (I think)

I'd like to know where... I just went through all the options and couldn't find it.

My host has CPanel, I just delete folders from the file manager.

That's what I would try..

who is your host?

Not everyone is a cheap ass, who cant afford a real host.

If you have shell access:

rm -rf <dirname>

install cute ftp. it has option to delete entire folder.

Options -> Program Options -> General -> "Allow deletion of non-empty folders".
