Hi,

Is it possible to use ftp to delete folders with content at the remote location pls?

Thanks,

Do you mean can you use FTP to log into a site/location and delete files? - if so then Yes.

You would need the log in details of the site/location to access through FTP, and then select them and delete.

Hi, thanks for the reply pcwizard!

The remote site has variable data which may or may not be within folder structure(s).

I am after a DOS ftp solution whereby I can script up recursive deletion(s) from a given point at the remote location.

Scripting up logging in and navigating around the remote location is already resolved. It is the ability to use DOS ftp to do the housekeeping at the far end that I am struggling with.

I suppose I could get the script to execute a gui ftp client that could subsequently login and recursively delete. That route is slightly more complicated but it's going to be my fall back position if I cannot find a DOS method.

Thanks,
