FlashFXP Forums - View Single Post - Find Files on FTP --> Delete

Ximbalo · 05-07-2009, 12:49 PM

Hi,

FlashFXP is a great discovery for me because of so many of the Tools menu features that I've never had available before in other FTP clients.

THe "Find File on FTP Server..." option is proving VERY helpful in locating and removing very old website file backups. From the search results window I can directly delete old files. Howeve, I am unable to delete FOLDERS directly from w/in the search results window.

Can anybody please explain the most efficient way to use the "Find Files..." tool option to locate folders, and delete them directly? For example, I have been trying to locate all folders with the word "backup" in them ( of which there are very many ), then delete them.

Thank you,
