FTPDELFILE

Post by icwicks » Mon May 17, 2004 9:56 am

Can I use the FTP del file command to delete all files in a directory, e.g *.*

I have tried this already but it didn't work. It works on a single file.

Is this supposed to be possible?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

No this is not possible. Use FTPGetDirList to get a list of the files and then use a loop with FTPDelFile to delete each one in turn.

This is precisely how ftp clients implement wild card functions.
