Question DELETE FILE BY THE SFTP

HELLO,

I use the component Get files with SCP to get the file but i have to delete after that.
How can we delete a file in a sftp server?

Thanks a lot
Asma

Deleting a remote file cannot be done with SCP.
Maybe you can use the SSH action?

Hello Thomas,

We have been facing the same problem for many weeks now,
We do exchange many files with our external partners.
And for some of them we don't have full access to SSH, for security reasons

Is there any component other than SCP and FTP are you planing to develop one for sFTP?

Thank you
Imane

Hi,
Yes we are planning to add an sftp action, where you can "script" your sftp session with standard sftp commands.
It is not ready for release yet, so for now I would recommend using a scripting action.
Here is a sample process which does sftp transfer + delete. Feel free to adapt it to your needs.

Hello Thomas,

I use your script to delete a file after transfert it with the "Get files with SCP".
It work's fine with my local runtime but not on the server runtime...

I've got this error :

Bean Scripting
org.apache.bsf.BSFException: unable to load language: beanshell

Do you have an idea ?

Thank you

Hi Seby, what is the version of the Runtime which produces this error?

The version seems to be 17.2.1.
The script work on an other server, with a 17.4.1 version.

Thanks.
These versions are getting old, particularly 17.2.1

Beanshell support was added in version 17.2.2 ("Enhancement 509" in the changelog).

ok
Thanks for your help !

Hi Thomas,

This is a feature that would really help us !
Do you have an idea of the release date ?

For now we scripted the delete action but we hope to make a full-stambia transfer file box ...

Thanks

Best regards
