U Systems Error

[jfollett]

Every time I try to delete folders that I have put on to the U Systems server I get this error message "Couldn't remove directory: Failure" this only happens with folders not the files in the folders.


Thanks

If you are using Secure File Transfer log into it and then right click on the folder itself and go to properties. Check that the permissions are checked for you to be able to Read/Write/Execute.

All those permissions are checked but I still can't do anything to get rid of these folders.

Do you have all the files removed from the folder before trying to remove the folder? Try turning on "show hidden files" under view to make sure there aren't any in there.

The above post from "Unregistered" is right - on the U-server, you can only delete empty directories. If you are using the Secure File Transfer client, you have to ensure the folder is empty (i.e. delete all files inside) before you delete it. Or if you are using the secure shell client, execute the following command:

rm -R <folder>

where <folder> is the folder you want to get rid of. The "-R" will recursively remove everything inside the folder prior to removing the folder itself.

Alright thanks I got it taken care of now.
