Guest Cyborg Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Hi, I have a windows 2003 FTP server which I have to clear down sometimes as many old files get left on there. However there are many files I can't remove from certain folders as I think these were Apple Mac files, how can I easily remove these? Thanks

Guest Cyborg Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Re: Can't delete certain files on ftp server It says "cannot delete file: cannot read from the source file or disk" the tyoe of file is just "file" and no more information. The file is called art something so it must be a Apple Mac file. Can't even rename them.
