550 Can't remove directory

#1 Post by Godzifile » 2006-06-02 12:09

Hi Everybody..i'm french so sorry if i make some mistakes.
I can't delete a file on my server cause it says "can't remove directory, directory not empy"...the file which causes me problem has this name:
.pureftpd-upload.447c521d.15.7652.efd7925f
and i can't delete it.
I've put the "show me hidden files" to see if there weren't some others....but no.
Just this file.
Someone has an idea of how to remove it ?
(this file shouldn't be used....that's why i don't understand why i can't remove it !)
Thanks for your help.

Do you have the permission to remove the file?

If yes, there are some FTP Servers having problems in dealing with filenames that start with a dot.
A good example is Quick'n Easy FTP Server, but there could be others as well.

In case you're dealing with *NIX, files starting with dots have a special meaning there...
