Hi,

I have just transffered an ccount over to my new CPanel server and the client wants me to delete the contents of his cgi-bin.

I have accessed his FTP and cannot delete any folders as it is saying permission is denied.

I have also tried modifying his account to take away cgi access - this did not work he still had his cgi-bin and its contents.

The question is - how do i remove these folders in the simplest way please?

Thanks.

I think it is the permission problem.

You can telnet in as root and use the below command.

rm

I am using CPanel and WHM.

Thanks for the advice about logging in as root. I have little experience of this, how exactly do i navigate to the users cgi bin and then run the rm command?
