Hallo!

I've got the problem, that I'd really like to delete some non-empty folders on my server using WS_FTP LE.
Can anyone tell me how to do that? Maybe I just need to enter a command in the command box? (i.e. "-a")

Would be very happy for some help, because the program which is installed on my server has a very complex file structure with hundreds of folders and files, deleting them all by hand would take hours! Wouldn't be finished next years' Christmas ;)

Well, looking forward for some help! Thank you.

In the menu at the top of the program, go into "Options" and choose "Program Options." Click the "Advanced" tab. You'll see a folder tree. Open the folder "Common," and you'll see the option right there to delete non-empty folders.

LE has some features disabled, doesn't it? I thought this was one of them...

If you have shell access (assuming LINUX), it's a lot faster to kill the directories from there.

Scap WS FTP LE, and go for FileZilla. Feature rich, open source, and user friendly. :grthumb:

You can't do this with LE version.

Well, that sux. I've heard some good things about SmartFTP. I used to use Leech, but I think that's no longer being developed. Of course, for a mass-delete, you can simply login via browser (ftp://username@domain.com) and delete at will.

I second SmartFTP. I've been using it this last year and like it a lot. WS-FTP is not worth the time at the stage it's at now. I don't know about the pro version, but there are several other FTP programs that blow it in the water, so might as well use a different one.

WS_FTP Pro version is very good. I've used it for years.

Thanks to all of you! I should think about updating to the Pro version or using another ftp program.
Thanks again!
