DeleteFile

Delete files in the remote SFTP Server.

Deleting Files

SFTP allows only a small subset of columns to be used in the EXEC query. These columns can typically be used with only = comparison. For example:

EXECUTE DeleteFile RemoteFile = '/home/test/CDataTest/SPTest/TestFile.txt'

To delete all files inside a path:

EXECUTE DeleteFile RemotePath = '/home/test/'

To delete all files in parent and subfolders:

EXECUTE DeleteFile RemotePath = '/home/test', IncludeSubFolders = 'true'

To delete files using a pattern:

EXECUTE DeleteFile RemotePath = '/home/test', RemoteFile = '*.txt'
