    Using Fetch to access an AppleShare IP 6.3 server I sometimes get an error message when trying to delete a directory: Directory not empty...but it is, I have checked on the server (I am the administrator of the server) and anyway it should still be deletable shouldn't it? Some users of mine also report this problem with Fetch when accessing a Windows server at a suppliers site. The problem is intermittent. Can anyone explain what is happening here?

    It's the server that insists on directories being empty before they can be deleted. Fetch's approach is to ask the server for a list of all the items in the directory, and delete them. Sometimes this does not work because the server does not actually list everything (it might leave out invisible files, or file names starting with a period).

    Could you post the contents of the Fetch Transcript window after you see this problem? Choose "Fetch Transcript" from the Window menu to open it. Also, it might help to know the name of the file that isn't being deleted.

    Thanks,

    Could you post the entire transcript? Also, could you find out the name of the file in the DUD directory that isn't being deleted?

    Thanks,

    Thanks. I consider it a bug in the AppleShare IP server that it does not list that file (presumably because it is invisible). You could report that problem to Apple, but I don't know that they are still working on AppleShare IP.

    Thanks,

    Same issue with OS X Server (10.2.4) here. If you consider this a bug in the Apple server software, why does Transmit not have this issue with deleting the very same directories?

    Could you post a copy of Transmit's transcript -- I'd be curious to see what they're doing differently.

    Thanks,
