I do something similar. Rather than messing with file attributes, I
rename the files placing a common extension on all files. That way, I
can delete the whole lot in one go by deleting everything in the web
space with that file extension. I usually use a file extension like
6.7.6 so somepage.html becomes somepage.html.6.7.6 and somegif.gif
becomes somegif.gif.6.7.6; same for jpg, css, php or whatever. Maybe
not better, but a bit different.
