Re: Deleting Windows drive map IFS directory with sub directories

Mike Cunningham wrote:
When we try to delete a directory in the IFS from Vista drive map to the IFS and that directory contains objects or other directories we get the error from Windows.... "You need permission to perform this action". If we go to the lowest level object file delete them and work our way back up the structure we can delete everything which tells me that it is not really a permission issue. The same directory can be deleted using iSeries Navigator at the top level. Same user doing the delete from Vista and iSeries Navigator. Vista going thru NetServer, iSeries Navigator not. Does anyone know a way around this problem?

Thanks

qsh
cd <wherever just above the directory>
# be sure I'm in the right place - measure once, cut twice
pwd
rm -Rf <the directory>
exit
