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:<br><br>shell del c:\temp\transfer\output\*.jpg<br><br>Simply include this with whatever local location and file mask you need. Hope this helps.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>DFri, 13 Jun 2008 01:02:11 GMTdsacurtisI am evaluating ws_ftp Seems like ws_ftp doesnt allow you to delete local files!http://forums.ipswitch.com/Topic42206-6-1.aspxSeems like ws_ftp doesnt allow you to delete local files right?</P><P>I tried </P><P>LCD C:\local\</P><P>MDELETE *.txt</P><P>DEL *.txt</P><P>RDEL *.txtWed, 26 Mar 2008 10:42:11 GMTGibbs
