[resolved] Cannot delete zipped theme from FTP (8 posts)

    I can't delete a theme from my filezilla ftp. My fault for downloading it as a zipped file, but I should be able to delete it!

    I keep changing the permissions on it, but that doesn't help.

    The error message I get is: 550 doc.zip: Forbidden filename

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Try and delete it through your hosting 'file manager' option.

    Might have to get your host to do that then.

    Hmm, I can try that. I wonder why I can't just delete it myself though.

    Ask your host that when you talk to them.

    I will try that but I will leave this open for a bit to see if I get different replies. Although that does sound like the way to go.

    I deleted it.

    I was going to switch hosts before posting this. I since have and deleted the zip.

    Note: My old host was Awardspace.
