how to delete a file through ftp or telnet

MorgoZ

Hello,

i?m trying to delete a file saved into the master?s root directory.
I?ve tried to access it through ftp, but with some ftp Clients they give me an error when trying to list the directory, and others just show me an empty directory at "doc:user"

Is there a way to delete a file at the root?
Do you know the telnet command to do so?

Thanks!!

Use FileZilla

MorgoZ

I?ve used it, and it gives me a list error and then exits.

When using Filezilla, especially if you are running under Vista, go to the advanced tab for your connection and set the server type to VMS instead of Automatic. This resolves many of the errors on connection, and the blank directory issue. There is something wrong with the auto-detect routine. I've personally never had trouble in XP with it, but until I figured it out, I almost couldn't use Filezilla at all in Vista.

FileZilla is kind of wack in general. Ever since a certain version, whenever I used it on an AMX master it always tries to take me to some doc:user directory and bombs out.

The FireFox extension FireFTP is amazing. Give it a try. (psst... its alt shortcut is alt-T-F, same as transfer in NetLinx Studio... easy to remember for us!)

Thanks for your help,

i?ve tried to open the directory with the FireFTP.... and the same, i post the response:

And again it shows an empty directory.

The Internet Explorer once told me that maybe the configuration of the proxy were wrong... i?m not using any proxy, but maybe i should configure something in the master to make it work????

Thanks again!

This is what it looks like when I connect.

Looking at the difference between these logs... you should try logging in as NetLinx instead of anonymous, and use Passive Mode.

Correction: you need to set the server type to DOS in Vista. VMS gets you a directory listing, but you can't actually transfer files; DOS works correctly all around.
