Cannot delete a folder

[Paul]

I am using Windows 7 Ultimate, English version and latest version of FileZilla, FileZilla Client. Suddenly, I have one folder I cannot delete. I can rename it, but not delete it. We have tried from several computers in different locations. Here is the full information below as requested.

Hi,

the link provided is not working for me (login incorrect).

Which permissions has the folder? Are you able to upload files into it and delete them from it? What's the exact error message?

Do you want the login information for our server so you can confirm the problem? I was not sure if I should provide our FTP login and password information.

I am able to upload files into the folder and delete from it also. There is no error message. When I right click and select delete, nothing happens and the folder is still there.

Hi,

Have you tried another FTP Client? I think this Problem is server-side, maybe you should contact the server administrator to check for this problem.

And, by the way, _never_ provide your login details to others!

Hi Simon,
We tried to delete this folder with a different FTP client and from a different location on a different computer. The server administrator tried it. She said the problem is not server side. She had the same problem.

Hi,

I guess the problem is not related to filezilla as other clients fail too. As you tried different clients and different computers, the only possibility is that the problem _is_ server side. Ask the administrator to take a closer look and delete the folder via shell access, not ftp.

So this is an issue with the FTP server?

You can either attach a log file "If possible, provide the contents from the message log. To do so, you should set the program's language to English, set the debug level to 3 in the settings and restart the client. Then connect to the server, perform the action that causes problems and copy the entire log to the clipboard and attach it to the bug report.
Do not tamper with the log, leave it exactly as is. Do not obfuscate any addresses or filenames. You will most certainly remove vital information from the log if you modify it." so we can point you to the error message the server returns (if any) or you can close this issue as "invalid" yourself, just because right now I do not believe it is the fault of FileZilla Client.
