I'd rather think this is an ftp (server) specific problem. What ftp server is being used?

For me it has nothing to do with the FTP. FTP is not being used at all. My machine and intranet server are on the same network.

I created skin, called it MySkin, uploaded it through Host admin, applied it.

Changed skin to DNN-Blue and applied it.

Chose MySkin from the drop down and selected Delete skin package.

Both dropdowns now say Skins and Containers.

MySkin is still inside the dropdown menu.

Click on Host Settings and got this under host and admin skin:

An error has occurred.

If I choose MySkin from the Skins dropdown I get:

A critical error has occurred.
Access to the path 'c:\intranet\portals\_default\skins\myskin' is denied.

Ok, I waited 15 minutes and it is still there.... it does eventually delete the folder and errors disappear.

Yes, this definitely fixes the problem right away. Delete the skin, go to host settings and restart application. That deletes the skin folder right away, skin is gone from the dropdowns and all the errors clear up.
