HELP - Cannot delete files created by scripts

Post by thetarget »

I created a script that automatically create images in the directory, I didn't set permission and I didn't create a delete script. Now I cannot delete it, it says I have no permission.

Also, I used the file manager in cpanel to unzip an archive inside the directory, same thing with above, I do not have the permission to delete the files through FTP or file manager.

I need the files gone, so please tell me what to do.

Thanks.

Ups.

It appears that the spamming has lowered this thread position.

Have you check your directory/folder permission? Most FTP client support right **** and you should see the "File permission", you can change it there.

Here are some step to use:

1) Are you useing your root account in cpanel to attempt to delete the files?

2) In ftp client are you using root account login details?

3) Attemtp to right **** and change permissions for the files to 777 then attempt to
delete the files.

4) Sumbitt a ticket at smokyhosts client services

5) Contact SHAdmin

Other than that I am unsure how you created read only files with admin only acess.
Good luck..
