    Question Someone uploaded unnamed folder to my ftp server

    I have an ftp server running on a dedicated machine for uploading program updates and stuff. A couple days ago, someone uploaded about 1.4GB of stuff and the folder in which it resides has no name. I can't delete it or rename it or anything. The error message I get is "Can't delete: cannot read from the source file or disk" . I should have placed the upload directory on a separate partition so I could just reformat it, but I already had the pc setup before I setup ftp. Any suggestions?

    When I have a folder that I cant delete, I first tryto take ownership of it, then delete it...and if that does not work, I use a linux box to delete it.
