    I've had this problem for a while, but never thought i should report it until now:
    using fetch and a unix server I cannot delete nested folders successfully. Fetch will go down into the folder hierarchy and delete files but at the end it will complain that it cannot delete directory because it is not empty.

    the directory is empty and while fetch will never be able to delete the directory again, I can through the command line. (haven't tried other ftp programs.) It could be that fetch sees a .DS_Store file, but i don't see one through my CGI/command line interface and it doesn't show up in the transcript.

    here is the transcript:

    I take the last part back, I do see the .DS_Store file and I am pretty sure that is the cause.

    sorry if this has come up before.

    I'd recommend choosing "Send LIST -al to UNIX Servers" from the Obscure Options pop-up menu in the Misc section of Preferences. That should get the server to tell Fetch about hidden files, which Fetch can then delete.

    Thanks,
