Deleting files on ftp site, with zero size (wodFtpDLX / wodFtpDLX.NET)
I have a client, who runs a process every days
and it will create a file regardless of whether there is
data to put into the file or not.
so.. they will end up with a lot of files, with a size of zero
is there an easy way for me to do that?
maybe with a listdir?
I will have to use a wildcard, to only get files that start with
certain text
is it possible to do a delete, inside of a loopitem?
seems like it would be easier for them, to do the delete on their end
but, they are unwilling to
I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks
Deleting files on ftp site, with zero size
I think you cannot use our internal functions for automation. What I think you could od is do a ListDir, and then, when you have all the information about files and their sizes, put ones you want to download in some local collection. And then
while (collection.size > 0)
ftp1.deletefile collection[0]
collection.erase(0)
end while
so, as long as there are elements (ones you put there, by your decisions) delete them.
That's one of possible ideas.
