Turn off ALL CAPS; it's annoying & doesn't help your cause.

What ftp service are you using? What version?
What SP level on W2K?

Random thoughts:
1. Shut down the ftp service.
2. Open a command prompt, and change dir to the one that
contains the "(C)..." files you can't delete. Move any
legit files somewhere else. Enter
del /s /f *.*
3. Enter
dir /ah
and
dir /ad
to see if there are any hidden files/folders. Take ownership
of them (if any). Repeat step 2.

THANK YOU FOR YOU HELP, I DID IT THE ONLY THING IS THAT
THE FOLDERS SHOW WHEN I DO DIR /AD AND WANT TO KNOW HOW DO

What part of "Turn off ALL CAPS" did you not understand?

PS. Download XCACLS from MS:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/existing/xcacls-o.asp
Install it, and learn how to use it. (Enter "XCACLS /?" at a cmd prompt.)
Hint: the /G option with the 'O' spec should be of interest.
