Re: Bugreport: delete broken files

Ok, I try it again:

I have a local directory called "test" and one file in it called 
"picture.jpg".
I upload it onto the server with:
sitecopy --update xxx

While the update is running I recognized that this file and this 
directory I didn't wanted to upload, so I stopped sitecopy with CTRL-c.
Sitecopy stops.
Here is the sitecopy output until here:
-----
sitecopy: Updating site 'xxx' (on xxx.de in /)
Creating test/: done.
Uploading test/picture.jpg: [.............

sitecopy: Caught signal: Interrupt (2)
sitecopy: Aborting update...
sitecopy: Aborted.
-----

What is at the server now?
A directory "test" and an incomplete file "test/picture.jpg".

Now I delete the file "test/picture.jpg" and the directory "test" on my 
local hard disk,
and start sitecopy again. Here is the output of sitecopy:
-----
sitecopy: Updating site 'xxx' (on xxx.de in /)
Deleting test/: failed: 550 Permission denied.

sitecopy: Errors occurred while updating the remote site.
-----

Why? Because the directory "test" is not empty. There is still the 
incomplete file "test/picture.jpg".
So I have to connect to the server by hand (ftp) and delete this file.
The running sitecopy again and all works fine.

Stefan
