I'm trying to use SSH to delete a directory. It won't delete via FTP.
I've tried variations of the below but nothing seems to work;
rm -f [folder]
rm /-f [folder]
the directory that should be deleted is test.crossroadsclub.net, so I use that as the folder.
I have a situation like this:
There is a directory say, "Master" and inside, "Master" there is sub-directory, "Slave". A user who has access to, "Master" should be able to access, "Slave" automatically. However, a user who has access to, "Slave" should not have access to, "Master". Inside cPanel this type of protection is not possible.
How do I direct my httpd file to point to:
home/USER/public_html
instead of:
C:Users estetc...
I want to do this to make my test server just like the remote server.
I want to move the entire contents of a directory tree to another directory.
So for example we may have a directory with 15 directories inside, each directory contains files itself. I want to copy all the files from the directory tree into another directory located somewhere else one the file system. I want only the "files" to end up in the other directory and not the file structure too.
Im running CENTOS latest version.

Can we delete sql logs ? as it occupies 2.97gb
All the log is under a single file, occupying huge amount of space on our server
use lxadmin for the vps
we are unable to even open up the file, as we have almost run out of space, we would atleast like to delete around old logs older than a month, this logs are from 3 months, so please help us in solving this problem
if we delete the sql log, will a new log be created automatically or it gives an error?
when people run a forum and the template and forumdate folders may created some files with nobody permission,
the user could not delete them by the user themself,
and need admin login as root with ssh to delete those,
and let the files permission can run as the user instead of nobody.
the server is centos with cpanel and suexec.
can i activate the deletion command for 10 or 30 mins and then stop it? i think by this way we cant delete some files from the dir and not all the files so i can edit my files
i want to do this because my server doesnt respond to any file system command because my hardisk is full! so i need to remove some files by any way
Question: Is it safe to delete the files in /var/log/mysql ? Also, is there some way I can disable logging so that this folder does not get filled up again?
Explanation:
Last night I started running a Perl script to process the data contained in some files, and then do a series of INSERTs to put them in a MySQL database. When I checked on it this morning, I found that it was very close to being done, but had locked up. I had trouble doing anything at all, actually, until I realized that 100% of the disk space on my hard drive had now been used. I went to investigate, and I quickly realized that my /var/log/mysql folder was over 120GB!
My intuition tells me that this folder is just used to store logs of what MySQL is doing. However, I have no need for these logs, and seeing as they are (unnecessarily) using over 120GB of my hard drive space, I would like to delete everything in that folder. But I'm still fairly new to Linux, and I'm not sure if this is safe. Can I just delete these files? And also, to prevent this from happening again, is there some way I can disable MySQL from creating such enormous log files?
I heard the following folders were used by frontpage.
_private
_vti_bin
_vti_cnf
_vti_log
_vti_pvt
_vti_txt
I was wondering can i delete these folders if i'm not using frontpage ?

I am currently transferring from a VPS to a dedicated server.
After you have made the transition, do you delete everything on your previous server? Or can I expect that everything be deleted anyway when my subscription runs out?
I bring this up because there sometimes is sensitive data stored there (ie. databases with personal info) and I'm wondering how much I should delete. Obviously I'll get rid of the DBs, but what about essential stuff like the operating system?
I am running my VPS on direct admin panel, my disk space is going low, so i am deleting few junk / log files
Kindly let me know
1) is it safe to delete data of this directory -
/var/log/httpd/domains
The File names in above directory are such as - " domain.com.bytes "
As it is occupying 600 MB space
2) where can i delete much junk / temp files, to free up space.

basically i want to copy a folder with many subdirectory under it, zip it up the folder and delete all the subfolder and the files in the subfolder but not the parent folder where it store all temp data.
i already got xcopy and zipping work but i can't seem to figure out how to remove all the folder inside the parent folder without deleting the parent folder.

I should delete older than 5 days emails, how can I do it? (on cpanel and exim)
In one folder, I have thousand of files, and I want to delete 100 specific files. Saying specific files, I mean all of them has a keyword. So, I can find out all of them by using
grep "keyword" *
but dont know how to delete all of them. Not deleting one by one.
we've just moved to a new server and was wondering if there was any programs to secure erase all data on the hard drive on the old server (with centOS), as we don't want anyone else who get this harddrive to be able to recover any data.
I'm not that familiar with the file systems used by linux, so perhaps this isn't a problem. Just had to ask.
We use some DoD "approved" applications to remove sensitive data on NTFS partitions on our stationary computers, but couldn't find anything for *nix.
