Re: How to delete files from FTP site
I did add a remote-delete-after-fetch option
to wget for a user once (classy user
interface: "if (getenv( "WGET_FTP_DELETE") !=
NULL)"), but it's not in any released kit.
Let me know if you're that desperate for a
good time, and I can put the files somewhere.

SolutionDELETE /FTP is available under Process Multinet. Here's an OpenVMS Alpha V8.3 box running Multinet:
$ delete/ftp 10.254.254.254::file.bogus
10.254.254.254: %MULTINET-F-EHOSTUNREACH, No route to host
$
With the HP TCP/IP Services, the existing rexec, rsh and ssh mechanisms are all potential options here. (In general, sftp is both far better and far safer than ftp, particularly on an open IP network.)
If the remote FTP server can run DECnet-Plus, you can configure and use DECnet over IP.
FWIW, the command COPY /FTP has been around since V6.2. It's not new with V8.3.

Re: How to delete files from FTP site
I tested $delete/ftp on VMS V8.3 and TCP/IP Services V5.6 ECO2 and it does work. There is no help for delete/ftp however.
$delete/ftp remote.domain.com"username password"::y.obj;*/log
%TCPIP-S-FTP_FILDEL, Y.OBJ;* deleted

Re: How to delete files from FTP site
Unfortunately, further testing shows that they did not add support for RENAME/FTP.

Re: How to delete files from FTP site
I do not have access to my 8.3 system at this instant, but there is a command line option to specify an alternate source for command lines.
This file can contain all of the normal FTP commands in sequence. The FTP command itself has USER, PASSWORD, and other options that are useful in this context.

Re: How to delete files from FTP site
FTP/INPUT=, done one command at a time will probably return the correct status information.

Re: How to delete files from FTP site
$ backup/lo/del remote"user pass"::file.txt file.bck/sav
and then
bac/lo fil.bck/sav <>
Highly inefficient if you have many files :-(
I am afraid with remote backup, you must have a save-set on one side, so you can do
$ backup/lo a.bck/sav remote"user pass"::*.*
or
$ backup/lo *.* remote"user pass"::a.bck/sav
but I think not
$ backup/lo/dele remote"user pass"::a.txt a.txt
However, I write all that without a Vms node available.

Re: How to delete files from FTP site
Wonder when that snuck in? Interesting.
It's not documented anywhere I could find with some concerted Google digging. (The most obvious |site:hp.com "delete /ftp"| search turns up zilch.)
Process, on the other hand, has it listed.
