Cant delete folder from server - Is .DS Store the problem

[wotnow]

Hi I have read many of the posts regarding this issue and have enabled under Server tab "Force showing hidden files". This is some of the log .. sorry its so long wasnt sure which bits were relevant. I cannot delete the folder BrowseBasinServer although subfolders are empty .. I downloaded this file onto my local computer and there is a file that is not showing up on the remote side in images and this is a mac generated file called .DS store .. I read somewhere that this file will stop filezilla from deleting a folder. Is there a fix for this?

The problem is not within FileZilla. There's simply no way to delete a file which the server doesn't show you. Thus FileZilla assumes it's not there.
Sometimes there's a manual workaround: While being in the directory, use the ''Enter custom command...'' option from the Server menu. Then enter DELE .DS_Store and hit OK. If the server accepts the command, you can remove the directory afterwards.

Joined this forum just to thank Boco. The DELE .DS_Store Server command fixed my undeletable files/folders problem for me.

Thank you very much!
