RE: FTP_delete
Hi Thomas,
This could be a path to go even if it is at bit cumbersome.
My problem with this solution would be the FTP_list with a
generic filename. I haven't succeeded using FTP_list(ftp:'sched*.*')
because it comes up with 'nothing found' (or similar message).
Doing this manually ( dir sched*.*) also gives an empty list,
even at my own FTP server.
Maybe my syntax for the generic spec. is wrong.

Subject: Antwort: RE: FTP_delete
Helge,
Instead of deleting the file(s) is it possible to rename the file(s) e.g.
to 'DELE_' + originalFileName?
Sample: sched_20080409083435.txt -> DELE_sched_20080409083435.txt
After having downloaded all files is it possible to close and reopen the
connection and then delete all files starting with 'DELE_'?
The intention is to verify that using FTP_list() and FTP_delete() for
deleting files basically works.
Regards,
Thomas.
