Try using an ftp software like filezilla, I’m sure it’ll work for you :wink:

ok so far.
Old Stuff has 3 folders: Icons, Netmeeting and Tutorials. It is in these 3 folders
when I to add a folder I get the ftp_mkdir0:Can’t create directory: File exists.
If it was a 303, SLR, Sterling, Bren or even a 3.5 Rocket Launcher I could fix it

But… I am able to create folders without any problems… :confused:

Are you using File Manager? Do you want to move the content of that folder somewhere else? What exactly do you want to do?

I want to add folders to Icons, Netmeeting and Tutorials
Icons/ Applications and System
NetMeeting/ Files
Tutorials/ NetMeeting

I have fixed the problem. However there are certain things you may need to know:

The problem occurred because folder /public_html/Computers/Old Stuff had a blank space in its name. Please avoid using blank spaces in filenames/folders on hosting services as in most cases they will be treated badly and can lead to unexpected errors (such as this one).

I have renamed the folder "Old Stuff" to "Old_Stuff" and now you can create what folders you want inside it :wink:
