Ftp 550 - Permission Denied [resolved] - When I try to delete a folder

darran
I installed a plugin and then I removed it from the ftp, but it seems their created folder is still in my directory. When I try to remove it, I got a FTP 550 Permission denied error, how can I fix this? I believe it is causing some problems with my other plugin. Also what is the default permissions for any file? Can I set them to be a certain permission level, because I need them to be able to execute.

Here is the screenshot:

Have you tried to remove the folder using cPanel File Manager?

I have already tried that, but the file is still there. Can you manually delete it for me?

I can't really help you with your error message, but the default permission of a folder is 0 and a file is 644. I don't think it can be set that whenever you put a file into a specific folder it gets a default permission level, however I may be wrong - you're best bet would be to check in cPanel smile.gif

If files are already there in a folder just select them all and then right click and then select the option "Properties/CHMOD" or something like that, then enter the permission level you want for all of those files and then click okay/apply, all the files you have selected should be updated with that permission level.

I hope I have been of some help smile.gif

I tried changing the permissions but it doesn't work, they give me an operation not permitted. I hope I can get some assistance ASAP

Name the folder you wish to delete.

The folder name is [s-h-i-t]. Thanks a lot in advance

You should be more specific when request for your account help. Where is it exactly located, under which sub-folder?

What were you exactly doing when installing this plug-in? Because the folder permission is different from what is showing. For example, it's showing as 755 but it's actually set to 777. How did this happened?

Not only that your backup-d4ec9 under the same folder is experiencing the same thing.

PS, please close all your connection especially your FTP while I am trying to sort this out.

UPDATE:
Folder in question was deleted at 12:32PM GMT-5 and resides in your Trash bin. Topic is resolved.
