Dude. I'd like to take credit for this but I saw it on one of my security lists last month or so. Glad to help (for a change). -----Original Message----- From: Nick Crisp [mailto:ncrisp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, November 11, 2002 5:35 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: OT corrupted directoryfiles Win2k Thanks to George Wasgatt, M, Craig Harris, Tim Bishop and John Rowlandson, for all your ideas, however it was George who was on the money, I now feel rather foolish for not trying this before. Some of these directories are quite long so I still have much work to do, but at least I can get rid of them.. I am downloading bcwipe as we speak, as hopefully it will speed up the process Thanks again Nick Crisp Network Manager www.pinnaclesoftware.com.au -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of george.wasgatt@xxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, 11 November 2002 11:39 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: OT corrupted directoryfiles Win2k 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 *********************************************** 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
