Re: Deletion of files on FTP transfer

[Patrick Townsend <townsend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you have authority to the file you should be able to delete it via an
FTP session. One possibility, though, is that you may have security
software installed on the AS/400 FTP server exit point that prevents you
from deleting the file. Our security software, for example, lets the
system administrator remove any delete capability on a user-by-user
basis, or for all FTP connections to the AS/400. You might have the
ability to delete the file when signed on to a terminal session, but not
via FTP. 

Hope this helps.
