[thelist] Telnet Command to Delete Directories?

[Daniel J. Cody]

Gina - 

If the directory you want to wipe is called website/

and you want to get rid of it completly, issue the 'rm' command with the
flags of 'rf' to delete recrusivly(sp?) and without prompting like so:

rm -rf mywebdirectory/

that will wipe out mywebdirectory/ and everything under it.

Shout if you need more :)
