TC and "unremovable" files ?.

Post by *jackyjoy123 »

Hello,


Lets say, you want to make my file unremovable. To do this just rename it like this - add space, period, slash, space,slash
For example myfile.txt becomes myfile.txt .\ \
Even Notepad can open it, edit and save. But you cannot delete it.
However neither TC nor Lister can even view it!
Just curious - is it possible in TC at least to view it? Ideally it would be nice, if TC can delete such files.
If you are an ftp owner and allow anonymous access, you will see these files on your ftp very often, and there is nothing you can do about it! It sits on your disk, eats your space and there is no way to delete it!
The same goes for undeletable dfirectories, such as \com1 \lpt1 .~temp

Are specifically referring to files on an FTP server, and using TC to access such files on the FTP server?

I wonder about that too - backslashes are not allowed in file names on Windows.
