Delete FTP files

I enter the piratebox by FTP Log: Alarm Pass: Alarm but can not erase the pictures put in the shared directory do you have the trick to erase them?

rm /opt/piratebox/share/Shared/IMG_20180301_080111.jpg: permission denied
s[192.168.77.1]
thank you for the answer

Hi,
as long as you do not have the Shared folder on the USB stick, it is a bit difficult to delete files off from the box. The reason is, that the Shared folder is created and written by a different user then "alarm".
You need to login via SSH and run the following command:

sudo rm /opt/piratebox/share/Shared/IMG_20180301_080111.jpg

With the next PirateBox version we are going to improve that issue.

best regards Matthias

Thank you Matthias for the answer a little administrator button in the menu of the piratebox would be welcome cordially ydwood

Yes, but we do not have any admin interface for deleting files ..yet.. :-(

Hey a quick workaround I found today as I have just started using my Pi Zero W with a 64gb MicroSD, you can change/add the alarm user as an owner to the share directory by entering the following via SSH

sudo chown -R alarm /mnt/sdshare/share/

This will then allow you to make all the edits and deletions you want via SFTP

Thank you Dr_Frankenstein you are a champion of the modif

I adapted your order to my Pi Z W:
sudo chown -R alarm / opt / piratebox / share /
and it rolls inFTP with WinScp
