Delete source file after transfer?

[dkr1]

Newbie in need...

How do I remove the source file after a kermit file transfer?

Thanks in advance!

Are you asking about a file you are uploading from your local machine? If so, you could use the delfile command to delete the local file.

knob...thanks for the reply...I would like to have the source file removed at the end of the process for whatever the user places in the fname box...



proc main

;set dnldpath "c:\CSDDOWNLOAD"

string fname

sdlginput "Receive TX FILE" "Enter TEXT file to receive from /u/csd/TX : " fname

transmit "E^M"
transmit "E^M"
;transmit "E^M" for facet term users only
; transmit "^W" " " "
;transmit "Q" " " "
;transmit "Y^M" " " "
;waitfor "^[a19R22C" " " "
;pause 1 " " "
transmit "69^M"
waitfor "$ "
;transmit "su bd^M"
;waitfor "# "
transmit "cd TX^M"
waitfor "$ "
transmit "term -x server^M"
waitfor " Enter Your Selection:"
transmit "k"
waitfor " Upload to TERM server, Download to you, Neither (U/D/N)? "
transmit "D"
waitfor " "
transmit fname
transmit "^M"
waitfor " Hit any key to continue"
transmit "^M"
waitfor " Enter Your Selection:"
transmit "Q"
; waitfor "# "
;transmit "^D"
waitfor "$ "
transmit "GO^M"

;set dnldpath "c\csddownload"
endproc

I don't see anywhere in your script where fname is being set to a value by your user, such as them choosing a file from an ASPECT dialog box. However, if you modified your script to do as such (see the discussion of the dirlistbox command for an example), you would then know what file the user selected due to the dirlistbox command saving it to a string variable, then could use that string value with the delfile command to delete the file.
