delete files and folders on-rev.com

[Thomas McGrath III]

I'm sorry I stated in the subject but I should have stated in the email that I want to do this from the desktop for folders in my subdomain on on-rev server.

I think I am having permission problems even though I created the folder from the same app and want to delete it I get both the "folder is not empty" error and when I tried to walk through the contents I get the "can't delete this file" error.


 put "FolderName" into tName
 put  "ftp://***************%40lazyriver.on-rev.com:**************@liveconnectonline.com/liveconnectonline/" into tPath
 put tPath & tName & "/" into tFolder
 put the itemDelimiter into myItemDelimiter

 put URL tFolder into tresult
 delete line 1 to 2 of tresult -- first two lines end in . and ..

 repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines of tresult
         if the last char of line x of tresult is not ". " then
            set the itemDelimiter to space
            put item -1 of line x of tresult into tFile
            put tFolder & tFile into tDelete
         
            delete URL  tDelete -- "Can't delete that file"
            put "Result:" && the result & cr after field "Results"
         end if
      end repeat

     set the itemDelimiter to myItemDelimiter
     delete URL tFolder -- "Folder is not empty"
      --revDeleteFolder tFolder -- doesn't work
      put "Result:" && the result after field "All Clients Results"
