Fool that I am, I left an FTP server (on an XP Pro desktop) open to
anonymous use for about a week, while I was on a customer's site, to make
getting some needed files easier.
All was well until last night. Evidentially someone created a main folder
with a few nested folders inside it last night (undoubtedly to facilitate
file transfers between 2 or more parties of who-knows-what).
When I saw what had been done, I immediately turned off FTP access and
attempted to delete the main directory and its sub-directories. But, when I
tried to delete the main directory I received an error saying that the
directory could not be deleted, and something to the effect that the folder
could not be found.
How is it that I can explore the directory, but XP can't see it to delete
it?
There are no files in any of the sub directories.
I have even tried deleting each folder starting from the bottom folder up.
But that only worked for the first couple of folders. There are 3 left I
can't delete.
The main folder name is "z 62319".
Any ideas?
