I used Total Commander and connected FTP to write website. Today I accidently deleted some files. How to recover them?
Recover using Total Commander or log in Putty? If using Putty, what commands are used to recover?

So far as I can tell, Total Commander does not have file-versioning, backup or trash-can support features.
If your PC contains originals/copies of the files, use Total Commander to re-upload them to the website.
If not, ask the web-server administrator to restore the files from backup.
If you don't have backups, re-create the files.
If the files cannot be recreated and are very valuable, have the server turned off immediately and shipped to a data recovery specialist.

Can't we recover them from linux trash can? I hope it's possible. – emeraldhieu – 2011-05-07T04:57:14.360
Linux doesn't have a system-wide trash can. Desktops like Gnome and KDE may have a trashcan that is used by their GUI file-manager applications (nautilus etc). The FTPD daemon (i.e service) won't use a Trashcan, when you tel the FTPD to delete a file, it deletes it. It doesn't look for trashcans. – RedGrittyBrick – 2011-05-07T16:01:36.957
