This makes the script jump out to the windows environment and execute whatever you include. An example:<br><br>shell del c:\temp\transfer\output\*.jpg<br><br>Simply include this with whatever local location and file mask you need.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>DFri, 13 Jun 2008 01:00:15 GMTdsacurtishow do you delete local files using ws_ftp scripting utilityhttp://forums.ipswitch.com/Topic42174-6-1.aspxI am trying to delete a local file on my PC using ws_ftp script... when in the ws_ftp dont we have ability to delete file that are on your local PC have have been able to copy files from local but not delete them...</P><P>USER suziemiller<BR>PASS miller<BR>connect MillerServer<BR>CD D:\myFilesRemote<BR>LCD C:\myFilesLocal<BR>MGET *.dat<BR>MDELETE *.dat<BR>CLOSE</P><P>but rather then deleting files on my local box it is deleting files on my remote server... where I just want to copy it and then delete it from the local box...Tue, 25 Mar 2008 15:02:19 GMTJohny
