I'm sorry I stated in the subject but I should have stated in the email that I want to do this from the desktop for folders in my subdomain on on-rev server.
I think I am having permission problems even though I created the folder from the same app and want to delete it I get both the "folder is not empty" error and when I tried to walk through the contents I get the "can't delete this file" error. put "FolderName" into tName put "ftp://***************%40lazyriver.on-rev.com:**************@liveconnectonline.com/liveconnectonline/"; into tPath put tPath & tName & "/" into tFolder put the itemDelimiter into myItemDelimiter put URL tFolder into tresult delete line 1 to 2 of tresult -- first two lines end in . and .. repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines of tresult if the last char of line x of tresult is not ". " then set the itemDelimiter to space put item -1 of line x of tresult into tFile put tFolder & tFile into tDelete delete URL tDelete -- "Can't delete that file" put "Result:" && the result & cr after field "Results" end if end repeat set the itemDelimiter to myItemDelimiter delete URL tFolder -- "Folder is not empty" --revDeleteFolder tFolder -- doesn't work put "Result:" && the result after field "All Clients Results" -- Tom McGrath III http://lazyriver.on-rev.com 3mcgr...@comcast.net On May 14, 2011, at 7:04 PM, Matthias Rebbe wrote: > Hi Thomas, > > as Björnke already said you can use delete folder.
