Examples
The following code example sends a request to delete a file on an FTP server and displays the status message from the server's response to the request.
static bool DeleteFileOnServer( Uri^ serverUri )
{
// The serverUri parameter should use the ftp:// scheme.
// It contains the name of the server file that is to be deleted.
// Example: ftp://contoso.com/someFile.txt.
//
if ( serverUri->Scheme != Uri::UriSchemeFtp )
{
return false;
}
// Get the object used to communicate with the server.
FtpWebRequest^ request = dynamic_cast<FtpWebRequest^>(WebRequest::Create( serverUri ));
request->Method = WebRequestMethods::Ftp::DeleteFile;
FtpWebResponse^ response = dynamic_cast<FtpWebResponse^>(request->GetResponse());
Console::WriteLine( "Delete status: {0}", response->StatusDescription );
response->Close();
return true;
}
public static bool DeleteFileOnServer(Uri serverUri)
{
// The serverUri parameter should use the ftp:// scheme.
// It contains the name of the server file that is to be deleted.
// Example: ftp://contoso.com/someFile.txt.
//
if (serverUri.Scheme != Uri.UriSchemeFtp)
{
return false;
}
// Get the object used to communicate with the server.
FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(serverUri);
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DeleteFile;
FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse) request.GetResponse();
Console.WriteLine("Delete status: {0}",response.StatusDescription);
response.Close();
return true;
}
Remarks
The text returned by the StatusDescription property includes the 3-digit StatusCode property value. When downloading data, the value of StatusDescription changes as status codes are returned by the FTP server. After you call the GetResponse method, StatusDescription contains an intermediate status code. When you call the Close method, StatusDescription contains the final status.
