I log in to upload.ntlworld.com and then input my user name and password. Next I typed 'LS' which shows the 'temp' folder listed ok so I then typed 'CD temp' the reply was 'CWD command sucessful' so once again I typed 'LS' now I can see the 'media' folder listed.

I then typed 'RMDIR media' and I get the reply '550 media: file extists'. I have also tried 'CD media' getting the reply 'CWD command sucessful' once more and then I typed 'LS' once more and there is nothing listed in the media folder because its empty which I knew anyway.

Am I doing something wrong please?
Sounds to me like there is a 'hidden' file in the folder, but it's a long time since I used Unix - does Unix have 'hidden' files, and is there an equivalent to Windows 'Show hidden files'?
