Thanks, theguy. It works fine. But there's one problem. I still cannot delete it from server, the error message is "permission denied". I also cannot delete it by using FTP. I really confused about this. Would you give me more clue, please? Thank you in advance.


Regards,
Kay

If you're referring to Links files that were created by the program, they are owned by user Nobody, so you cannot delete them

BE CAREFUL.
