#200 closed Bug report
can't delete dirs with hidden content

Description
Example:
a remote directory /test/ contains a file
beginning with a dot, '.htpasswd'.
If you try and delete /test/ you
receive a 550 error ("directory is not empty"), even though it
appears empty in the GUI.
Workaround:
You can
only delete the dir if you check the option:
- Always show
hidden file
...in Settings -> Remote File
List.
Solution:
The current 550 error with the empty
GUI list is extremely confusing.
FileZilla should delete all
content in a directory - including hidden files - when a directory
delete is requested.
Thanks for a great piece of software
though!

Unforunately this problem can't be fixed. Not all servers
support the -a switch to view hidden files.
On those servers, using -a on those servers would have the
same affect as not using -a on your server.
