    GASP ! for some reasons I forgot to remove the Write enable option from my Win2K ftp site and .... bhooomm ! Some weird people thought to put some files on my ftp server. Now, the problem is they created the files in an empty name folder (actually is a folder containing only one blank space in its name). Now what ? I cannot remove the folder !:omg: :omg: :omg: Does anyone have any clues to give me how to remove this folder ? thanks PS : i'm using Win2K SP2 with NTFS

      The most likely cause was that the directory was renamed with the ascii alt-code for space which is (ALT+255). If you ftp in you should be able to type in rmdir ALT+255 to delete the directory. Hope this helps .. Travis D. Mathison --- --- After three days without programming, life becomes meaningless ...
