You could also try and connect from a Linux/BSD machine using the Samba client tools and remove the directory remotely. The Samba client tools are included in the native /bin directory on most distributions these days. For example on FreeBSD 5.0, you could mount a directory and easily remove the files remotely: # mount_smbfs -W yourdomain //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/C$ /mnt/ftp # cd /mnt/ftp/pub/theirwarezdir # rm CON LPT1 COM2 <etc> Your C$ share should be mounted in the /mnt/ftp folder (which you'd obviously have to create.) You could then navigate to that FTP folder and remove all the reserved files individually. Once doing that you'd be able to browse through the directories in Windows and see what's been removed. It might be a lengthy process if you are unfortunate enough not to have any unix boxes on your network, but it will probably repair the problem. I'm not sure how they would have been able to even create the reserved worded files, as when I tried creating them using a Samba mounted share on FreeBSD, I got "Access Denied" error messages each time. > This is apparently very common, and the moral is not to run an anonymous FTP > server!

You designed your FTP (perhaps by mistake) to accept anonymous uploads. The FTP Server was running without fault. -- Adam Smith Information Technology Officer SAGE Automation Ltd.
