Hello everybody,

Simple check (FileExists()) before download from your list, delete or rename however you like (depending on filesize, I would first download and on success rename to the original filename)

If you are trying to delete/rename remote files on the FTP server, TFtpClient has methods for that purpose:

Quote

Ren        - Rename a file or directory on the server from HostFileName to LocalFileName
Rename     - Connect, Cwd, Rename a file or directory on the server & Quit

 

Dele       - Delete a file on the server in HostFileName
Delete     - Connect, Cwd, Delete a file on the server & Quit

The old SSL FTP sample has buttons named Delete and Rename which send the FTP command to delete and rename files on an FTP server. 

 

But you should really look at the OverbyteIcsXferTst sample which uses more modern techniques so you don't need to worry about sending individual commands, you can ask it to sync a local and remote directory and it will delete old files while copying new or changed files

Yes the operation must be executed on the ftp server
I didn't know how to use  HostFileName to LocalFileName for renaming

Thanks Remy Lebeau

if I understand
HostFileName :=picture1.jpg (stored in server)
LocalFileName :=picture2.jpg

picture1.jpg must be renamed to picture2.jpg  is it right ?
