Troubleshooting
I can't delete a file or directory
Several reasons have to be taken into account, to find out, why files or directories cannot be deleted.
| This example describes a very easy way using the wide spread TotalCommander as FTP-Browser |
- You are not the owner of the files which means that the files are created under an other user acccount:
- if you logged in with a user account other than “samba” e.g. using FTP files the file/directory owner maybe “admin” or any other user
- if you at least have no idea which owner the files please:
- login with your favorite ftp browser e.g. as “admin”
- right click onto the directory [..], or file
- choose “Properties” to find out the real owner
A new window will be opened that shows you the file rights and the owner of the file as follows:
Note: the first entry “admin” shows the owner of the file, the second “admin” means the file belongs to the group “admin”
- connect to your intradisk as the file owner (”admin” in this example) and delete the appropriate file or directory
- Incompatibile filenames starting with a blank " " are not properly managed when transferring the files using some ftp browsers.
- Login via telnet as the owner of the file (see above)
- remove the files manually with the “rm” command.
- escape the leading and all other blanks using the escape character “\ "
- Tab Completion helps you to list allready escaped files (e.g.: cd /export dir, then press <tab> twice)
