Private folders?

[Guest Guest_Alex_*]

When I FTP into my acccount (iaxxeel with domain of alexsforum.cz.cc) and go into \public_html it shows me the following folders:

 

_private

_vti_bin

_vti_cnf

_vti_log

_vti_pvt

_vti_txt

_vti_inf.html

 

And other standard stuff like cgi-bin and images.

Am I okay to delete these folders? I'm not sure if I'm supposed to see these and or if they are essential core files.

Go to your cpanel and look for Frontpage Extensions and click Uninstall. That will remove those folders. I would probably keep the cgi-bin though.

The files with the prefix 'vti_' and the '_private' and 'images' folder can be deleted, as they are generated by programs such as Microsoft FrontPage, and can also be generated by FTP clients.

 

However, we recommend you keep the cgi-bin folder, as CGI scripts rely on thos folder.
