I made the mistake in the past to create an FTP directory that was wide open at the top, with client permissions set on all the inside folders. &nbsp;This kept all the material inside safe from hackers, but left open the permission for someone to create a directory in this folder, which then inherited the permissions from the top of open access. &nbsp;The person tried to upload material but I caught them before it was done and cut off access. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The problem is, the directory is blank so I cannot delete it. &nbsp;The sub-directories below that are all jibberish characters. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I have tried deleting through Windows and the DOS shell but cannot get rid of it. &nbsp;Can anyone help? &nbsp;Max Points here. &nbsp;

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
