Hi Ty,
From what I remember, I think that it's saying that I own the files. I'd have 
to check when I get home. Would it be OK for me to shoot you an e-mail from 
there in the next couple of days if I get too frustrated?

Thanks.

Jim

Jim: More than likely you are logged on fine, but you don't have permissions on 
the box to remove the file. If you want to delete a directory, you should be 
able to just hit delete on it, you don't need to actually delete the file 
itself in the directory.

Hi,

Maybe this is really a Unix/Linux question and I don't realize it. Since I like 
the Explorer-like interface, I wanted to stick with that, since I don't feel 
like being a Linux geek just yet, so here goes. If I want to delete a 
directory, do II first have to delete the files in it? And if I can't delete a 
file because it says I don't have permission to do so, does this mean that when 
I use WinSCP, I'm not logged on as myself, or is there some other issue going 
on? I am putting in my credentials and getting to the box.



thanks.



Jim
