It might be your FTP client. Use another one and I'm sure it won't be there.

ok i made my way to the directory the files are in in SSH, what's the command to delete?? doesn't appear to say shit in the help.

Sounds like a permissions / User / Group issue. Scripts create files as "nobody" and if they were created without write permissions you won't be able to delete them unless you have root access. If you do, ssh in as root and do it, (rm filename) if not, you'll have to have your host do it.

rm filename

you can use wildcard to

the file permissions are:

-rw-r--r--

for each file. it won't let me chmod them or delete them

See my post above... if you don't have root access, you'll have to have your host do it. If you do, you'll have to do it as root

Try ls -l to see which user/group owns the respective files.

If it's created by a script it's probably owned by apache:apache, or nobody:nogroup or something like that.

I got currently a similar problem. I want to delete the file and it tells me:

"No such file or directory" ?!??!

**kaktusan** · 09-11-2004, 01:35 PM

Your current file permissions are read/write by root and read only for everyone else. You must login as root on ssh and delete them
use "rm -f filename"

I think this will help

Try ls -l to see which user/group owns the respective files.

this is correct.. assuming it's nobody:nobody or similar you can write a simple php script to delete it

<?php
exec('chmod 666 /full/path/to/file.xxx');
?>

then visit your php page in your browser

then go back into your ftp and you'll be able to remove it

wtf, FTP problem, won't let me delete a file.
