Hi All,

I've installed the script through telnet, but i dont have permission to do anything with it. How do i go about deleting through telnet? Using Redhat Linux?

Any suggestions.

Delete what?

If you install something via telnet, the file permissions are "you".

Once you run the program via http: the webserver creates pages as "itself" (nobody, http, www, etc).

You need to become the superuser for your account, and set all the files you want to delete to chmod 777, then you can remove them.

There are some scripts on cgi-resources that let you manage files as whatever user your webserver is, but they have security risks, since you are giving anyone who can get to that script the ability to do a lot of damage.

Thanks for the input,

I ran a CHMOD command from telnet to change everything recursively and then deleted it.
