Deleting files on remote server

[SpokaneTJ]

Good Day,

I have a web farm and am trying to create an application that will copy, del and move files from one location to all the web servers. I am able to do everything but delete files.

This is the statement I use:

Shell("del \\wp1\c$\apps\bppr\2006\catalog\*.* /F /S /Q", AppWinStyle.NormalNoFocus)

When I run it from the button I have it connected to it gives me this error.

File not found. Is there a way to get them to delete without having to call a batch file to do it?

Yes the files are actually there.

Thanks.

SpokaneTJ,

If you are using .NET 2.0 then try using the following:

My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory(...)
My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile(...)

Hope it helps.

Computerjin,

Thank you very much for the suggestion, I tried it, but it doesn't like deleting anyting on a remote server. Continues to give me the error message "Verify files exist in the specified directory.
