FTP Delete File
FTP Delete File is a synchronous activity that issues an FTP delete or mdelete command to delete one or more files from the remote server.
General
The General tab has the following fields.
| Field | Literal Value/Module Property | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Name | None | The name to be displayed as the label for the activity in the process. |
| FTP Connection | Yes | The path to the shared configuration resource containing the user information such as host name, username, and password. |
| Quit (post-command) | None | Select this check box to specify that the FTP Connection should be closed after completing this command.
The FTP connection remains open, if this check box in not selected. As a result all the FTP activities that specify the same FTP session (that is, the same host, port, username, and password), share the FTP session until the connection is closed. |
