Re: Bug: cannot delete directories on windows server

My analysis: It appears from the log the the client changes the CWD to the directory to check it's empty, then attempts to delete it. It can't delete it because it's also the CWD (the equivalent of "rd ." from the command line, which gives the exact same error). It probably needs to move to the directory above before attempting to delete it.

Good point, thanks. That's quite probable. I will fix that.

Just tried with the latest version, 4.0.6, and that can now successfully delete directories whereas before I couldn't. So many thanks for the update!

What directory it is?
Any directory. See below for a log where I create a directory, then attempt to delete it.
