Hi , i have a few 3550's at the moment and when i use the delete /force /recursive flash:html command it just throws back "permission denied" this seems pretty common on the 3550 but i have never had an issue on the 2950, 3550, 2960, 3560 just the 3550.
Can anyone give me the command for recursive deleting on the 3550 in the console i.e. hyper terminal?
Its driving me crazy at the moment and im getting to the end of my tether

Hi,
the parameter that should be fed to the command is a directory path not a file path( as you are using the recursive feature), I wonder how you make it work on other platforms if you do the same.

Hi Tristan,
As I said in my previous post, you must specify a directory not a file:
delete /force /recursive flash:html

That is the exact directory i am trying to delete but for some reason it will not work at all Alain, it works only all the other switches but not the 3550
delete /force /recursive flash:html
says permission denied but on every other switch it goes through just fine

Hi Tristan,
Oops I'm sorry I did read wrong. Did you try putting a / in front of the directory ?

It may have something to do with your version of your IOS. I remembered some time ago seeing this myself.

sorry guys im still having no joy with this and i cant get my head around it, once booted up it wont use the /force /recursive commands it just throws back invalid marker warnings but i can use these commands on the 2950's, 3560's, 2960's, 2940's but not the 3550's so if anyone can tell me how to remove the dir on the 3550's i would be eternally grateful as i have a few different types now and they all throw the same issue up
