Stupid Question : Is there any way to delete a full directory in WS_FTP
I know, stupid question.
On one of my sites I've got a directory with like 28,000 files in it, every time I try to delete everything, ws_ftp stalls and freezes up. Anyone know of a way to delete a directory without deleting the files in it? |

The best decision for me would be writing a short php script that erases all files in directory.

Other than individually deleteing all the files, do you have permission to delete a directory on your server?

You can do it in WS FTP, but it's not a default option. I had similar problems when I bought it, too. Anyway, in WS FTP pro (and most likely other versions), simply click on "Tools" and then "Options". In my version, there is a check box for "Allow deletion of non empty folders". Make sure that is checked. Once it is, you should be good to go.
Hope that helps. - PornAddict |

WS_FTP won't do it, but :
Cute FTP will delete non empty directories. Download it.

Never mind my post... I'm an idiot. My mind must be in dumb mode. For some reason, I read it as you wanting to delete the entire folder AND the contents within... obviously that's not the case.
