Delete Files Matching Pattern

See more FTP Examples

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

    success := false

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

    ftp := chilkat.NewFtp2()

    ftp.SetHostname("www.chilkatsoft.com")
    ftp.SetUsername("MyLogin")
    ftp.SetPassword("MyPassword")

    // Connect and login to the FTP server.
    success = ftp.Connect()
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(ftp.LastErrorText())
        ftp.DisposeFtp2()
        return
    }

    // Change to the remote directory where the files to be deleted are located.
    // for the FTP account.
    success = ftp.ChangeRemoteDir("junk")
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(ftp.LastErrorText())
        ftp.DisposeFtp2()
        return
    }

    // Delete all files with filenames matching "ftp_*.asp"
    numDeleted := ftp.DeleteMatching("ftp_*.asp")
    if numDeleted < 0 {
        fmt.Println(ftp.LastErrorText())
        ftp.DisposeFtp2()
        return
    }

    success = ftp.Disconnect()

    fmt.Println(numDeleted, " Files Deleted!")

    ftp.DisposeFtp2()
