FTP.RemoveDir(sFTPdir); Won't delete Folder if not empty?

[ronwilliams]

If I use the FTP.RemoveDir(sFTPdir) command it only removes empty folders on the server, but states
"Request denied by server" if anything is inside the folder.


Any Ideas how I can delte/remove a folder containing stuff?

You need to delete all files and sub folders in it before you can delete the folder itself.

Thanks Ulrich
How would I do this then? With some sort of loop script?

[Ulrich]

Yes, sort of. You would use a function which enters each sub folder recursively and deletes all files in it, and then deletes the folder itself.

Could you point me in the right direction with some code?

The sample project shows how to empty a folder - all files and sub folders in it are deleted.

Note that this may fail in certain circumstances. File names starting with a dot are hidden on the server, and they don't appear in the list returned by FTP.List(). As a result, they are not deleted, unless you perform a command to specifically delete the file(s). If the folder is not empty, it can't be deleted.

Code does not seem to work. Maybe I am missing something here, but it still wont delete the folder..
