your problem is not caused by dokuwiki (well not directly). You probably
have some files and directories there which were created by the
webserver user, with a permmision which does not allow your FTP user to
delete them. The problem is because these files are owned by the
webserver you can not change their permissions through FTP. You need to
fix the permission through the web using some management script. There
are several PHP based filemangers on the web available which can help
you with this. Maybe someday someone will write an admin plugin for
these kind of management tasks for DokuWiki.
