How to delete file from FTPS server (using LibCurlNet)

Johan Hakkesteegt

Hi, I am dealing with an old FTPS server. (not to be mistaken for SFTP) I can connect to it using LibCurlNet. (couldn't get it to work with .net's FtpWebRequest / FtpWebResponse) using the following code:

With easy
.SetOpt(CURLoption.CURLOPT_URL, _URI)
.SetOpt(CURLoption.CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, False)
.SetOpt(CURLoption.CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, False)
.SetOpt(CURLoption.CURLOPT_FTP_SSL, CURLftpSSL.CURLFTPSSL_TRY)

            'For debugging will print received data to console
            .SetOpt(CURLoption.CURLOPT\_DEBUGFUNCTION, New Easy.DebugFunction(AddressOf GetFileList))
            .SetOpt(CURLoption.CURLOPT\_VERBOSE, True)

            'Get directory listing
            .SetOpt(CURLoption.CURLOPT\_FTPLISTONLY, True)

            Dim code As CURLcode = .Perform()
            If code = CURLcode.CURLE\_OK Then
                'Console.WriteLine()
                If blnFileListSuccess Then
                    If file\_list.Count > 0 Then bResult = ProcessResults.AllroundSuccess
                End If
            Else
                bResult = ProcessResults.FTPConnectionFailure
            End If
            .Cleanup()
        End With

(with adaptations for each action of course) I can list files. I can download files. I can upload files. But I cannot delete files.That is, I don't know how to do it with LibCurlNet. So my question is this, can anyone tell me how to delete files from an ftp server using LibCurlNet ? Or alternatively, can anyone tell me how to connect to, and interact with, FTPS using normal .net ? All help much appreciated. Regards, Johan

My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

Since it's extremely unlike you're going to run into anyone who has used that library here, I suggest you ask in a forum dedicated to that library. Click here[^].

Thanks Dave, you are right of course, but I had to try everything. Regards, Johan
