Hi there

When I attempt to rm a file on an apache ftp server, I get the error "not a directory".

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance

Are you typing "rm -r filename"? If so, just type "rm filename".

Yes - I've been using rm index.php for example

rm is for directories, try 'dele'.

Just FYI, apache does not make an ftp server, only a web server.

With that said, all ftp servers accept the following commands:

Code:
Commands may be abbreviated.  Commands are:

Someone already mentioned that the correct command is DELE <filename>
