FTP delete

Description

The FTP delete action deletes files on an FTP server.

Options

General tab

The SFTP protocol of this action is deprecated. It exists because the action was written before Hop could reach an SFTP server any other way. It can now: the Delete files action resolves its paths through VFS, so an SFTP Connection or a plain sftp:// path deletes remote files without a second implementation of the same thing. Existing workflows keep working and log a warning; new ones should use Delete files.
