Hey and thnx for the reply

x is a shortcut "link" to either a existing dir or non existing dir (non existing as in removed/moved)

on both alternatives that shortcut "link" cant be removed, atleast not on systems using glftpd on linux/freebsd

tried those cmd's and they didnt work either.

funny thing is that (with risk of getting flamed :P) when i tried removing that same shortcut "link" with several other ftp clients like smartftp, cuteftp ,gftp linux..... it works fine....

if mark "dont recursive delete" in settings i get this:
RMD x
550 x: Not a directory.

dont get me wrong here but all i wanted to do was get rid of "links" to non existing dirs with a simple right click, its a ***** if you have to use another client or even telnet/ssh to do it from the shell on linux all the time.

maybe its just a ffxp/unix thing?, and if so isnt that easily fixed?
