Delete Files Matching Pattern

See more FTP Examples

The DeleteMatching method deletes all files in the current remote directory matching a wildcarded filename. Dart

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

void main() {
  // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  final ftp = CkFtp2();

  ftp.hostname = 'www.chilkatsoft.com';
  ftp.username = 'MyLogin';
  ftp.password = 'MyPassword';

  // Connect and login to the FTP server.
  try {
    ftp.connect();
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Change to the remote directory where the files to be deleted are located.
  // for the FTP account.
  try {
    ftp.changeRemoteDir('junk');
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Delete all files with filenames matching "ftp_*.asp"
  final numDeleted = ftp.deleteMatching('ftp_*.asp');
  if (numDeleted < 0) {
    print(ftp.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  ftp.disconnect();

  print('$numDeleted Files Deleted!');
}
