ldelete wildcard

Question

Whats the best way to delete a local file after uploaded? I can use the ldelete function on static names but will not work with a wildcard (*). I have a date in the name of my upload file.

Should I use a batch file and delete through dos? If so how do you sequentially run a batch event after an ftp event.

Do you mean you want to delete a file that is on the server that has been uploaded elsewhere?

Yes, I would like to delete the file locally which was just uploaded. So it doesn't get resent by mistake.

---

How was it uploaded?

I am using an ftp event. Below are the main points modified for web viewing.
I tried "ldelete Certifications*.csv" after the close and it fails with an unrecognized command error.

set localdir=C:\outbound
open
cd /DEV
mput Certifications*.csv

close

What's the event?

Its an FTP Script event.

---

Which event? If it is a file upload event (for example), then it gets triggered for every file and you can get the filename from a macro.

---

I am using a scheduled event.

OK. You'll need to use JSS if you want better control (Javascript)
