No, you misunderstood; I'm not trying to remove a directory. I was trying
to figure out *how* they are created. If you look at the log xylog posted:
07:55:14 217.128.73.112 [11]MKD com1.scanned.by.zog+++/+++/ 257
it appears an anonymous FTP user created this directory. I was
experimenting on a couple of machines here but couldn't get them to create a
directory that starts with "com1". Jason showed me how to do it from a
command line, but that doesn't work via FTP. I tried some variations on it
but haven't hit on anything yet.

Did you try the POSIX utility rm.exe from the resource kit?
If you don't solve it soon, I've got a coworker who has solved it in the
past with an old utility. I'll ask him when he gets in later.
