How do I delete a file from my FTP server?
I am using ftp_pro. How do I write a script to delete a file from my server either using ftp_pro or visual basic?
ASKER
I have not used this before. I can I access the WININET.DLL?
USE the dos command ftp <ipaddress>
log in, and then use
ls -al
to list all files
And I think its
rm filename
to delete
log in, and then use
ls -al

rm filename
to delete

The file I want to delete is on our remote FTP server and I do not know if I can get to our server using a dos command on my local pc.
All you can do is give it a try. Just start a command prompt and type ftp, it will ask you for the rest
Hi,
Just use internet explorer to do the ftp'ing.
Start IE and type "ftp://the pc you want to connect/"

I tried the ftp: suggestion and I was able to access the server. I will try to use this in code and se if I can access the server.

I answered the question myself. I created a site in ws_ftp_pro which contained password, id, ip address etc. In script I wrote 4 lines of code:
1. Connect to to remote site
2. view path to ensure I was in the right place
3. Delete all files *.*
4. Close procedure.
I would like a refund as well as requesting you close this issue.
