Description
System info:
- Drupal 5.7
- Asset 5.x-1.0-beta1 2008-Mar-08
I decided to deleted some of the uploaded files. The files were deleted in the wizard. However, the files are still in the host with permission 0664. I cannot delete any files created by asset with this permission.
I access the host with ftp and webapp but with no shell access.
Please help
Thank you,
Andrew

I'm on this. This functionality was not added as something as a feature but I later added the directory removal which does delete the physical files. I'll fix this asap before releasing beta 2.

Hi wmostrey,
Thank you very much for your fast reply and action on this.
However, the issue is still there. I don't know whether it is because of the module or because the host setting, but it seems to be with only asset files. When the folders/files were deleted from the asset wizard, the folders/files were still in the host with permission 775/0664. And I cannot delete or change the permission. The issue happens with new created folders/files as well.
I access the host using FTP and Cpanel.
Best regards,
Andrew Do

Andrew, maybe this has something to see with your server's settings? When I try this both on my local sandbox and on my server, the file gets deleted as expected, both with when deleting an individual asset or when deleting folders.

Hi wmostrey,
I think the problem is similar to this:

Sorry for posting this as an asset issue. This module is great, that's why I really want to figure out the problem instead of discarding it.
Appreciate your help,
Andrew

I'd rather have users report an issue too much than an issue too few :)
