RE: Deleting Windows drive map IFS directory with sub directories

When we try to delete a directory in the IFS from Vista drive map to

the error from Windows.... "You need permission to perform this

our way back up the structure we can delete everything which tells me

That's nice, Pete, but I think Mike was looking for a Windows solution. (I
know that if I'd have asked, it's what I would be seeking.) There must be a
way to do this without signing on to the system (and certainly without a
command-line access), as there is with most other network filesystem
accesses. Note that my remotely mounted drives from Linux (Samba) and from
other Windows servers on the network work fine... but I share the iSeries
issue that Mike describes.
