Problem: On the server are many files created by a php file. As such,
ownership has been assigned to Apache.
I want to delete them, but nothing will let me - and believe me, I have
tried ! ftp / chmod / commandline with su - stuff, but they ain't
budging. I've tried some file managers, but either they would not
install, or they did not do the job.
It's a unix server where my domain is hosted. I could raise a support
ticket, but I'd rather sort it without them.

Anyone point me in the right direction ?

Thanks

I think you might need to change the ownership from nobody to your username.
Look at the chown command: http://www.hmug.org/man/8/chown.html .

Were you able to reassign ownership with chmod? If so, you can delete
the files if they are not locked, or in use. Maybe you were trying
when the files were locked.

If you were not able to change ownership you'll have to request
assistance.

Thanks for the replies.
After trying several other file managers that claimed to be great, and
even sending in an expert on the commandline, I've given up.
The hosting Co. will need to annihilate them :)

Ta again :)

Can't you just delete them with a PHP script? Those will run under the
Apache account...
