DeleteFile Method

Deletes a file on the remote server using SFTP.

Syntax

public String deleteFile(String fileName);

Remarks

This method deletes a file on the server with the name specified by the FileName parameter. FileName is either and absolute path on the server, or a path relative to RemotePath.

This method returns an Operation Id which identifies the operation in progress. A corresponding SSHPlexOperation will also be added to the Operations collection. The operation can be canceled by passing the Operation Id to the CancelOperation method.

When the operation completes the DeleteFileComplete event will fire, and the SSHPlexOperation associated with the completed operation will be removed from the Operations collection. Inspect the parameters of the DeleteFileComplete event to determine the result.

If there is no SSH session in place, one is automatically created by the component first.

This method is only applicable when ChannelType is set to cstSftp.
