FTP Delete Action

Description

The FTP Delete Action allows you to delete a file on the FTP server. A connection with the server must have already been established using the FTP Login step before you can use the FTP Delete action.

Parameters

Source
Specifies a UNIX style path and filename to the file that is to be deleted. Wildcards (e.g. *.* or *.txt) are allowed if not connected in "compatibility mode". If wildcards are used, multiple files may be deleted in the current folder. If "include subdirectories" is enabled multiple files in the current or specified folder and any sub folders beneath it may be deleted if they match the mask.

Example 1
/foldername/filename.txt

Example 2
/foldername/*.txt

Example 3
/foldername/*.*

Include subdirectories
If enabled and a wildcard mask is specified (such as *.* or *.txt). AutoMate will search into any sub folders for files matching that pattern. When disabled, AutoMate only processes files in the current and/or specified folder.

Notes

Please not that AutoMateā„¢ will continue to the next step of the task regardless of whether or not the file on the server is successfully deleted.

Of course, this step will only work providing you have rights on the FTP server to perform it.
