Start a command prompt. CD to the directory. Do a DIR /X. This displays the 8.3 short name. Use the 8.3 name with the RD command. -----Original Message----- From: Nick Crisp [mailto:ncrisp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, November 11, 2002 12:28 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] OT corrupted directoryfiles Win2k Hi all I have an issue that I can't seem to find any info on, and I was hoping someone on the list might know how to fix this problem. My ftp server keeps getting hit by people scanning for anonymous ftp access, and they leave behind a bunch of space files and weird directories that seem to corupt the structure. I have one such directroy that I cannnot delete nor browse (windows Explorer just hangs) Is there any app out there that can correct these problems, I really don't want to rebuild this box Oh yeah... I have disabled all anonymous access now Thanks in advance Nick Nick Crisp Network Manager www.pinnaclesoftware.com.au *********************************************** For Archives, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link. http://thethin.net/citrixlist.cfm *********************************************** For Archives, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link. http://thethin.net/citrixlist.cfm
