Sounds like you've been hacked. I had this once (very quickly got a better means of protection). Inside that directory are warez or music or something. I don't recall exactly what I did to get rid of it, but I ended up getting FlashEXP (an FTP client) which could see the hidden character in the directory name, and thus could delete it.
A google / deja search turned up hacking instructions to create it, and also some instructions to delete it. The bigger problem is that there is now probably something vicious on that box, giving folks the ability to use you as a file store. I used a software firewall to quickly close the box down, while I could invest in hardwall firewall. Good luck. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:IMail_Forum-owner@;list.ipswitch.com] On Behalf Of Roberto Pusiol Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2002 8:14 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] OT: strange directory Hello all, Excuse me for asking an OT topic. It appeared in my server a directory a strange directory called (let�s say) unknown. When I try to delete it windows tells me "The file unknown can�t be delete. The file can�t be found". Any idea?
