Uninstall part 2
Hey all, let me first say, yes, I did read all previous threads about this subject, found no answer...

I have ben trying to uninstall Fileman and failed... it's a nice script... but.. yeah.. so anyways, I need this to be goners but it won't, I do not have Telnet or SSH access to the cobalt server... any ways I can get rid of this without these things? I only have CuteFTP... I know, it might suck.. but please help me out with this... Cheers...

In a word, no, you can't delete it with just FTP access.

You could trying uploading this script and it "may" work:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

`rm -rf /path/to/fileman`;

Change /path/to/fileman with the full correct path. That command will nuke the fileman directory and contents...beware.

Can you chmod your cgi-bin or do nothing at all?...if you can, chmod it to 777 and try uploading again...if not you'll need to get your host to fix it.

I would say this has nothing to do with Fileman. FM doesn't do anything to your site. Sounds like your host installed it to limit your access to various things and doesn't want it removed. If you don't like it, change hosts.

Yeah this isn't fileman.

That sounds a bit lame...are you sure he knows what he's doing?.....pretty much anything can be fixed with root access.
