I recently got a malware on my website. I have made the backup of the website on my computer and trying to wipe off my FTP. I am trying to delete the root folder but getting this error message on all of the malicious files,Response:   550 Could not delete index.php: Permission deniedI am the sole administrator of the ftp so permission should not have been an issue. My host provider seems not to suffer from this problem as his websites are running well without any malware. I have also tried to change the root to 777 to see if the file permission change could help me delete the files but still I am getting the same error. Please help out. Thanks
FTP file access problem
ftp
The FTP account either virtual or shell account doesn't have rw permissions to delete the root folder. You'll need to SSH in su to root and delete what you want
