    ftp guys - simple question...

    im using ws_ftp, and on one of my domains, i want to delete everything that's on my hosting for that domain.. but, i can't delete folders unless i open them, and delete all the contents... normally this wouldnt be a problem, but i have A LOT of folders, it'd take a long ass time to go through and do this

    are there any ways to clear my hosting out, or at least delete folders even if files are in them?

      get your host to do it
      the hun gets revenue from pre-paid gallery placements on the top 15 spaces and banners.
      the rest of thegalleries are free placements.

          don't do it though FTP. Login into your server as root and take care of it though telnet
          SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                              Check the settings of WS_FTP. There is an option "allow deleting of non empty directories".

                                  You can delete folders with it and you won't go back to WS_FTP after using it, trust me.

                                          I'd like to know where... I just went through all the options and couldn't find it.

                                          My host has CPanel, I just delete folders from the file manager.
                                          .

                                              That's what I would try..

                                              who is your host?

                                                  Not everyone is a cheap ass, who cant afford a real host.
