I was moving some crucial files outside of the public_html directory to enhance security using the 'move file' feature on cPanels file manager.
I made a typo while typing in the destination for the files... Now the files have gone, they're not in the typo directory or the original. Surely the file manager doesn't delete the file if it can't find a directory to put it in?
I've enabled hidden files and looked in almost every directory, any clue as to wear they could have gone? Or how to undo that action?
They appeared in a sub-directory of the original location as I forgot to add a "/" at the start, even though cpanel appears to have already done it for you.
Been looking in directory's for half an hour, post this question. A second later.. found!

I'm writing a piece of software that maintains files in a Git repository.
One of the executables I've written has one simple purpose: delete everything to do with the software. It is given to the user in a separate, completely unrelated Windows folder.
One of the folders it needs to delete contains a Git repository, i.e. it contains a hidden .git folder
Now here's the problem I'm having. When I'm on the PC itself looking at the file system I can find that folder, click on it, delete it .... and it's gone. Not a problem.
So I try to do the same thing in my assembly by calling System.IO.Directory.Delete on that folder.
Here is what I am finding:
Everything is removed from the folder, but the folder itself is still there
When I try to THEN manually delete the folder from Windows Explorer it gives me some Unauthorised Access message. I cannot delete it.
The only way to actually get rid of it is to then try RENAME the folder in Windows Explorer, at which point I once again get an Unauthorized Access message but wouldn't you know it.... the folder disappears.
What gives!?!? Why does a System.IO.Directory.Delete NOT do exactly the same thing as me going in through Windows Explorer and deleting the folder manually?
I have tried a number of things. For example I tried getting all the files in the directory and setting all their Attributes to Normal, and through all the folders and setting their Attributes to Directory And Not Hidden. Still no joy. I even tried using Process.Start to run a RMDIR folder /S /Q - which runs perfectly from a .bat file - but the same thing happens.
I do have TortoiseGit and all its dependencies installed in case that has anything to do with anything.... and the folder does have the green Tick on it to indicate that its content is all up to date.
So my question is:
Is there any way I can successfully delete a folder containing a Git repository though VB.NET?
I finally got to the bottom of this mysterious mystery.
The culprit is TortoiseGit
When I killed the TGitCache.exe process just before deleting the folder, everything worked perfectly.
Go figure.
As you can tell from the title, I don't know what words that I should use to describe what I want to do.
I just want to be able to change my website's files from:
www.example.com/bark.php
and www.example.com/leaves.php
to
www.example.com/tree/bark.php
www.example.com/tree/leaves.php
While having a www.example/tree.php page as well.
So, I'm working with PHP and am building this with Sublime text editor. Is this an .htaccess job?
Thanks in advance :)
You don't need .htaccess or any programming language.
Simply create the folder, put your files in it, and upload them back to the server. You'll also want to delete the old files on the server as well.
Alternatively, you can rename the files on the server itself. You can either right-click on the target file, and click 'Move'.
You can also drag the files directly by clicking-and-dragging:
The file www.example.com/tree.php is just another file, stored in the ROOT folder. You are allowed to have a folder and a file with the same name.
www.example.com/tree will point to the tree folder, and attempt to access the index at www.example.com/tree/index.html or www.example.com/tree/index.php.
The file www.example.com/tree.php will not be loaded when viewing www.example.com/tree without .htaccess configuration.
Hope this helps! :)
Something in Pentaho data-integration saves the folder of the first location it was run.
This was a problem for me because I ran it for the first time in my downloads folder and then moved it to my Program Files folder.
Specifically the folder
\data-integration\system\karaf\caches\spoon\data-1\txlog
For anyone whose problems are still not solved, you may be using a newer version of Kettle.
I had the same issue, and first followed Tyler's advice to find the file
data-integration\system\karaf\instances\instance.properties
and change the item.0.loc property from the old path to the new.
However there were still odd goings on, and this didn't fully resolve the issue.
I ended up finding one of the cache bundles (in my case bundle 15) contained a transaction.config file buried deep in the filesystem which was still pointing to the old path:
data-integration\system\karaf\caches\spoon\data-1\cache\bundle15\data\config\org\apache\aries\transaction.config
So I changed the aries.transaction.howl.logFileDir from the old path to the new, and it fixed the issue. Sneaky!
I found the file
data-integration\system\karaf\instances\instance.properties
and was able to change the line
item.0.loc
to point to my new folder.
I get this error and I can't start my application or edit it.
I've tried deleting the Resources folder and putting everything back and it doesn't help. I also checked my 'Resources.resx' custom tool namespace, and it's fine (uses "My.Resources").
I've tried deleting my images by moving them. It's as if the resx file is hidden from VB.
I really have no idea where to go from here :(
enter image description here
Application resources are added to Resources.resx file. It create a static property against each added resource while file are stored in a Resources folder physically on the file system however, they are embedded into application on compilation depending.
Because you have deleted the resources(images most likely) from Resources folder but application (Resources.resx) is still referencing to these files.
There are two ways to fix it.
1- Go to application resources TAB and delete all the resources & Added the back.
OR
2- Put all the resources into Resources directory. select all and include them (because you had deleted them once so, they may still present in the directory but are not included in project). if you do not see in folder(from visual studio then make sure to click show All Files button on the solution explorer.
This shows how to go to Resources TAB
This shows how to include resources which already exists in the folder (got deleted)
I have a rather bizarre issue with an SSIS package I have. After processing some files within a Directory I am removing the Directory so my For Each Loop doesn't process the same files again.
It fails to Delete the Directory but yet leaves it in the folder and then tells me I do not have access to this folder, I cannot take ownership of it or even move it to another directory.
I have even tried a VB.NET Script tasks to try and remove it and I get the same result.
A reboot of the server makes the folder disappear - has anyone experienced this before.

JML
Sounds like the directory is "in use" still but with the deletion pending. When you reboot, the lock on the directory is cleared and the deletion completes. The discussion at
try ing to move a file "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."
may be helpful.
