"del ?" -----Original Message----- From: Phin Pope [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 12:19 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: Server hacked... need to get rid of a folder
Tried that no joy... All the windows menus don't let me interact with it ALT-255 nothing worked on that... trying to remove the folder via FTP (which was how it was set up) btw it's not my server that was hacked and someone set up anonymous FTP (so i've upgraded myself from "lowly stupid sys admin" to "d'oh don't let users set up their own servers sys admin" Any more bright ideas because this is beginning to get really annonying... has anyone ever performed a low level disk edit to rename a NTFS folder? (just an idea, not sure whether the file model allows it!)

This is the ASCII Character ALT-255. > I've tried Ztree and everything to try and see it but nope nothing nada Drop to a Command Prompt and change to the directory which contains the offending subdirectory and type: DELTREE<space><alt>255<enter> Or better yet, type REN<space><ALT>255 offender The directory will now be called "offender" and you can now browse its contents using Windows Explorer or the Command Window. The ALT-255 key combination brings up the MS-DOS extended character set character which appears as a blank space, however it is not actually the character inserted when you press the Space-Bar. Windows has never been able to browse this directory ever since at least Windows 3.0, but MS-DOS has, if you know how. We used this trick in high-school a lot.
