iis ftp : unable to delete locked folders on our company ftp
Hiya, basically someone enabled FTP on our ISS server but forgot to take off anonymous access. All of a sudden our disk space started dissapearing! Anyway yesterday I found out we've had someone scan the server and have had people uploading rubbish to it. I'm unable to delete the files and folders that were uploaded. Looking at the folder in explorer it appears as a blank name In the log file it appears as "+++++++++++" I cannot rename it or delete it the whole path to where the files are looks like: /+++++++++++/+++prn.hsp.laserjet+++/++++com6++++++/+++++nul+++/++lpt8+++/upped+by+C********/ I've heard that using "com#" locks folders aswell? another example of a path is: /wwwroot/images/maps/pdf/+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ /+++++++++++++++++++com2/+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++k/ how can i get rid of all this? it wont even let me delete the files that are within the folders Your help & time is much appreciated and thanks in advance Spencer Forgot to mention we are running Windows server 2003 with IIS6 -- spenj2k ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted via http://www.webservertalk.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ View this thread: http://www.webservertalk.com/message635786.html
Stop the FTP service, delete the file you want, fix the permission problem,
start the FTP service again -- Yours truly, Mohammed A.

I was tagged with a directory that had no name. I'm assuming the tagger used
control codes when naming the folder. The only way I was able to remove it was to move all the valid folders until only the folder with no name remained. Then I opened a command prompt and cd'd to the folder 2 levels up from the no-name folder. I used "rd {parent_folder_name} /s /q" command on the parent folder to the no-name folder. I hope this helps someone. Brian Ladley [quoted text, click to view] "Bernard" wrote:
