Most every directory has the .AppleDoubles folder if it is on atalkd share.
When you attempt to delete a directory through smb, smb will force to delete
all the sub files and directories with any questions. But in ftp, let's say
you use CuteFTP, WS_FTP, or any other third party ftp applications, this is
how they work.
When you try to delete a directory,
/home/user/a
ftp application will go into a folder, list all sub files/directories into
memory, and remove each file individually. So you will not be able to rmdir
since .AppleDoubles is still exists.
Maybe we should hack the ftp serivce, and force it to delete .AppleDoubles
if it is exists?
ayu
