Delete file via FTP as per FAQ 1

[hovercraft]

Using the code that is provided in the FAQ's here for FTP'ing, how would I use the function for deleting a file on a ftp site?

would it be

FtpDeleteFile("ftp.myserver.com", "username", "pw", "TheFileNametobeDeleted")

I'm lost....

 

[PHV]

This is how the function is declared;
Public Declare Function FtpDeleteFile Lib "wininet.dll" _
Alias "FtpDeleteFileA" (ByVal hFtpSession As Long, _
ByVal lpszFileName As String) As Boolean

So you should have an ftp session open.

Hope This Helps, PH.

hmmm... something like this?

Function FTPdelete(ByVal HostName As String, _
    ByVal UserName As String, _
    ByVal Password As String, _
    ByVal FileToDelete As String)

    
    
    On Error GoTo Err_Function
        
' Declare variables
Dim hConnection, hOpen, hFile  As Long ' Used For Handles

' Open Internet Connecion
hOpen = InternetOpen("FTP", 1, "", vbNullString, 0)

' Connect to FTP
hConnection = InternetConnect(hOpen, HostName, INTERNET_DEFAULT_FTP_PORT, UserName, Password, INTERNET_SERVICE_FTP, IIf(PassiveConnection, INTERNET_FLAG_PASSIVE, 0), 0)

Call FtpDeleteFile(hConnection, FileToDelete)
End Function

Thanks for help phv!
