I'm trying to delete an uploaded Dropbox directory, but only receive "550 Access Denied" and i don't know why. I already tried to set the directory permissions to 777 but nothing changed.
On the other hand, my delete command can clear the complete Dropbox directory, except the folders itself. (Every file in the shared directories can be deleted)
This is my structure before delete command:
- root
- Dropbox
- Folder1 (S)
- Folder1.1
- Folder1.2
- Folder1.3
- Folder2 (P)
- ...
- Folder3 (S)
- .dropbox (i)
- File3.1
- File3.2
- File3.3
- Folder4 (P)
- File1 (P)
- File2 (P)
- File3 (P)
- File4 (P)
- Folder1 (S)
- Dropbox
(S) = Shared Directory
(P) = Private Directory
(i) = Invisible
And this is my structure after the command:
- root
- Dropbox
- Folder1
- Folder1.3
- Folder3
- .dropbox (i)
- Folder1
- Dropbox
Could someone explain this?
My Server using Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS as OS and vsftp for FTP connections
My Client using Windows 7 32 Bit and my Application was created with VB 2010
EDIT1:
I found, that every directory contains a file which starts with a dot .
.
Linux don't list this files and the user get the response "Empty Folder". Even with dir
command Linux return nothing. Only with ls -a
Linux is showing the remaining files.
Now my Question: Is there any way, how i can change the visibility of this files for FTP Users to visible?
Thanks for your help
