can't create folders

45miles · 01-29-2002, 09:35 AM

since a few days, i can't transfer whole folder-structures. And I also can make a folder on the FTP-Server but i can't delete it.

Any Ideas about this?

Probably you can't delete folders on the server cause you don't have the permission to do it.

The admin of this server have set the "create folder" permission for your account but don't set the "delete folder and files" permission.

No, the permissions are alright. I could create folders before and i also can do it with any other FTP-program. I also can create folder by hand (right-click, create folder). And this not onla appears on one FTP-server, it's on all a tried.

well... are you sure that the '/www/demo/' path still exist on this server?... maybe you're trying to make a folder in a path that doesn't exist...

Hi,
the path /www/demo/ is only a example. I can't create folders anywhere. Any Path, Any Server. But i can with other FTP-programs (WS-FTP). But only not 'on the fly'. (Transfering a whole folder).

Just a quick, and painfully obvious, observation.. In your example you're attempting to create /www/demo/yoga. I'll assume that /www was there from the start, but it's logical that this would fail if /www/demo needs to be created in order to create /www/demo/yoga. There's not that many ftp-servers that are so intelligent that you can create large dir-structure by simply referring to the bottom-most entry and have the server fill in the blanks. If you try it in baby-steps you'll see you have more luck.

Well, i got this message for creating yoga in www and www still existed.

just the baby-steps you mentioned.
