Deleting a Local File or Folder (LocalRemove)

Use the LocalRemove method to delete a local file or folder. Use the absolute path name for the item you want to delete.

Syntax

Object.LocalRemove(BSTR bstrName)

Parameters

BstrName

This contains the items full absolute path.

Example 1

Set MySite = CreateObject("CuteFTPPro.TEConnection")

'Initialize all necessary fields for MySite : host name, user, password, etc.

You can also use wild cards to replace the string value of bstrName. These wild card masks include "*", "?", and '\n" (new line symbol, also known as Chr(10) in VB).

'Initialize all necessary fields for MySite : host name, user, password, etc.

MySite.LocalFolder = "c:\temp"

MySite.LocalRemove("file.ext") 'removes if exact match

MySite.LocalRemove("*.obj") 'wild card match with a specific extension

MySite.LocalRemove("*.aaa" & Chr(10) & "*.bbb" & Chr(10) & "t*") 'various wildcard filters
