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).

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

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.

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
