Can't delete files (8 posts)

    I cannot delete old files and folders via Fetch 5.6 anymore. I get an error message that says the items cannot be accessed via this server. I can however, go on my old computer running Fetch 4.0.3 and everything works perfectly. Gotta be a setting in my preferences. Right? Anyway to identify this issue or even do a global reset?

    Hi David,

    We'd like some more information to help diagnose the problem. Could you please do the following?

    * Quit Fetch 5.6.
    * Open Fetch 5.6 again.
    * Connect to your server.
    * Try deleting one of the problem files.
    * After you receive the error, go to the Window menu, and choose Fetch Transcript.
    * Copy the entire contents of the transcript window, and paste them into a reply to this message.

    We'll take a look and see if we can advise.

    Thanks,

    Scott McGuire

    Hi David,

    The file listing shows that for some reason, the permissions on the "music" folder are set such that you do not have permission to open it or delete it.

    Do you also get an error when you try to open it (just double-click on it) instead of deleting it?

    Thanks,

    Scott McGuire

    No I cannot open it. ...Failed to retrieve directory listing is the error message. Thanks by the way for your help.

    Hi Dave,

    And what happens if you try to open the "music" folder in Fetch 4.0.3?

    Thanks,

    Well the permissions were all fouled up, so I reset them and now I CAN open Music in Fetch, but cannot open it in Google Chrome, Safari, or Firefox. That's the real problem, one of them at least. I like to set my clients up with their own folder where they can go and find all of their materials. When I open it in a browser it get an error message that says I do not have access to the file.

    I'm out for a bit so I won't be able to respond back for a few hours...fyi.

    thanks so much,
    Dave

    Hi Dave,

    If the permissions are correct now and you can open (and delete files) in Fetch, and you still can't get at the folder via a web browser, then perhaps there's some sort of lag between when you update the permissions via FTP and when the web server realizes they've changed?

    I probably don't need to tell you this, but you should try emptying the web browser's cache and see if that fixes the problem. If it doesn't, then there's some disconnect between the permissions shown to FTP clients and those shown to the web server, and you'll need to talk to the people who run the server about that.

    Please let us know if you have further questions.

    Thanks,

    Scott McGuire
