See more FTP Examples

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

llSuccess = .F.

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

loFtp = createobject("CkFtp2")

loFtp.Hostname = "www.chilkatsoft.com"
loFtp.Username = "MyLogin"
loFtp.Password = "MyPassword"

// Connect and login to the FTP server.
llSuccess = loFtp.Connect()
if (llSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loFtp.LastErrorText
    release loFtp
    return
endif

// Change to the remote directory where the files to be deleted are located.
// for the FTP account.
llSuccess = loFtp.ChangeRemoteDir("junk")
if (llSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loFtp.LastErrorText
    release loFtp
    return
endif

// Delete all files with filenames matching "ftp_*.asp"
lnNumDeleted = loFtp.DeleteMatching("ftp_*.asp")
if (lnNumDeleted < 0) then
    ? loFtp.LastErrorText
    release loFtp
    return
endif

llSuccess = loFtp.Disconnect()

? str(lnNumDeleted) + " Files Deleted!"
