Moving / deleting files

[iboock]

Continuing the discussion from Move file from one local folder to another:

I am trying to do the same on my locally hosted server, but I don’t see an action of “delete from disk” is this something I need to activate? all I have is the read/write from disk and ftp related actions.

my workflow is processing many files (downloading from FTP server, decompressing those and processing them, so I need to remove them once done).

Self hosted on a google cloud VM.

thanks

Hi @iboock, welcome!

The FTP node already has a delete and move options:

Other options include using the SSH node or Execute Command nodes

Check this topic:

without enabling the Execute Command node back, I’d go for the SSH node: You’ll need to add credentials, either a password or a private key..
