Hi. I was in the middle of downloading heaps of directories with lftp, while suddenly an error occured (I forgot to tell lftp I just changed my account password), thus lftp created all the directories it had collected the information of, and they became, ofcourse, empty. Now I need to delete those empty directories and _only_ the empty directories. Does anyone know how? I did a "find ./ -type d -empty > ../empties" to at least get control over what I need to remove. But it is like several hundred directories and I ain't planning on doing it all manually =) Besides, I don't know how to script so I'd really appreciate some help from the mighty audience. Thanks.
