Topic awaiting preservation: Scary Stuff? (Page 1 of 1)

I deleted a CMS after having uninstalled the add-on components. I could not delete a parent folder that had been created by one of the component scripts through FTP...same problem going thru the Plesk File Manager...so I loaded whatdir.php and a cleanup script...still can't delete the sucker.

Here's the scary part. My Hosting server has online chat support...I logon with the name "Me" and the email addy "Me@home.com"....the guy does not have a clue who I am....i give him my domain and the folder i want to delete....he says "are you sure" and I say "You bet"....and he says "done" and I check my FTP client and I see the sucker is gone. so to make a long story short, i got a tech support to delete a folder off a domain without him knowing who the hell i was....all he could conclude was that they hosted that domain and that the permissions on that folder had been modified by a script (there were images in the folder, it wasn't empty)...pretty scary shit.

What, you're not going to say who this crap host is?

Are you kidding?
I'm too scared someone will read this and delete my entire site.

Heh... surprisingly uncommon, actually... but I do love how your hose claims that their hosting plans are "compatible with any OS". Yeah, of course they are. It's damn hard to make them incompatible, unless you're talking about terminal emulation, or things like that.

(And, yes for One Month On Resurrections. This is what I get for having too much time on my hands.)
