Seems like ws_ftp doesnt allow you to delete local files right?

I tried

LCD C:\local\

MDELETE *.txt

DEL *.txt

RDEL *.txt

Hi,

Actually you can. The way to do a local delete is to use the "shell" command in the script editor. This makes the script jump out to the windows environment and execute whatever you include. An example:

shell del c:\temp\transfer\output\*.jpg

Simply include this with whatever local location and file mask you need. Hope this helps.

Cheers,

D
