unsufficient permission to delete files

Hello,

new to CE4-Pages I just managed to setup a small test site. After doing the first trials and errors in a subfolder of my web server (Buffalo Terastation) I would like to delete the non working site files. So I tried to do so via SMB (Windows) and FTP. However, there are a few files in the ttg-be and galleries folder that I am not able to erase. I get the following error message

  you require permission from unix apache ... 

I also installed the trial site on a hosted Linux/Apache server using ftp, and I get the same error message.

I looked up the support pages from Buffalo but could not find a solution there. So I was wondering if anybody in the environment had similar experience and could help me to delete the obsolete files.

Thanks for any help
Thomas

Re: unsufficient permission to delete files

I'm unfamiliar with the environment, but I would assume that you will need "root" permissions to delete assets not owned by your FTP user, as is usually the case.

Re: unsufficient permission to delete files

Ok, yes, but do you get root access to your host server?

I used the same user id and thus permission to store the files on the host as when I tried to delete them again.

Re: unsufficient permission to delete files

sounds like a question better addressed to your host.
