Hi All,

I am playing with FTP and am successfully able to upload a file to my shared server... No problem.

However, when I try the following command to delete the file after uploading, it does not work:

Code: Select all

put "file.txt" into delFile
constant FTPHOST = "ftp.mydomain.com"   
put the urlencode of "test@mydomain.com" into FTPUSER
put the urlencode of "test" into FTPPASS
get libURLftpCommand("DELE "&delFile,FTPHOST,FTPUSER,FTPPASS)

Also, when add the following line to my code:

Code: Select all

answer libURLftpCommand("HELP",ftp.mydomain.com)

I get the following error message:

421 Can't change directory to /var/ftp/ [/]

What am I missing here? Do I need to include the full path? FYI: The ftp account I am accessing is a basic account that I added via my cPanel... (It is a single directory on my server... This is not the main FTP account for my Web hosting account.)

Thanks!

Okay, strike that! Figured it out... The username and password should not be urlencoded:

Code: Select all

get libURLftpCommand("DELE "&delFile,"ftp.mydomain.com","test@mydomain.com","test")

Cheers!
