Can't delete certain files on ftp server

[Guest Cyborg]

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

What do you mean with "Can't remove"? What happens when you try?

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.

In this case I would delete the file using the same tool that created it.

That's the problem, it's an FTP site which external constomes use, so i have

no idea.
