Bastian, try this. You may have to get the "path" info from your servlet by using something like using your HttpServletRequest request.getContextPath(); to get the path for your content path of your servers file path. I'm sure you know you can't delete file from your clients' pc.
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException{ //doPost(request, response); boolean success = (new File("filename")).delete(); if (!success) { // Deletion failed } } Tom Kochanowicz Janitor III Nebraska Psychiatric Institute Subject: Delete-File-Servlet Hello, i would like to delete some files in a folder on a Server by calling a servlet. I know how it works in an application , but how does it work in a servlet ?
