Restoring a Deleted directory on a Server
Fat fingers deleted a dierectory on a file share server using a Filezilla client program
Is there any simple undo feature burried somewhere or is it a major job to do it someway else. I figure that it will take an hour of my time to rebuild from my HD backups. If there is an easier way let me know

what operating system on the server?
Is the server booting at present and do you have console access to it?
the way forward depends on what kind of access you have to the drives, whether they are raided, the operating system, what kind of files......
many server operating systems don't actually delete things until you flush them .... maybe the case here?

check - is there a "trash" folder or similar?
if not, you're going to have to call them and see if they can undelete (unlikely as it will be stored "cloudy" ) or else retrieve from a backup

Yes, I would expect the server has it's own backups but I don't have access that I know off through my transfer program. Nor a ready 800 phone number to get access to the server last backup.

Right-click the containing folder. Do you have an option to "restore previous version"?
(in which case you have volume shadow copies enabled and you can browse the previous snapshots and restore what was lost).
