Hi,

  I'm new to WS_FTP Pro and the WS_FTP Server but trying to learn.  I'm attempting to 
set up an automated process between two servers.  Server A has files in a "temp" that 
need to go to server B.  Once there they need to be deleted from the "temp" directory 
on server A.

  I believe that the only way to do this is to use ftpscrpt.  Directory synchronizing 
doesn't allow me to delete files from the original directory and I don't want to move 
duplicate files from A to B nor can I allow the files to just grow on A.  So the 
easiest thing I can think of is to delete from A after the transfer.

  Anyway here is a copy of the script I'm using.

TRACE C:\temp\transfertrace.txt
LOG C:\temp\transferlog.txt
USER username1
PASS password1
CONNECT ftp_server
CD /FTP
LCD C:\temp\hold_files
ONSUCCESS GOTO FILEDELETE
ONERROR GOTO DISCONNECT
MGET *.txt
LABEL FILEDELETE
MDELETE *.txt
LABEL DISCONNECT
CLOSE

<<<<< End of script >>>>>

I have checked the directory on server A and the user I'm logging is as has full 
control.  It's the same username/group membership, etc on both servers.  Both servers 
are running Windows 2000.

When I view the transferlog.txt file after stepping through the script using FTP 
Script Manager I see that the files where in fact transferred.  When it executes the 
MDELETE line I see it trying to delete the file and then it gets a permission denied 
error and goes the DISCONNECT label.  I'm not understanding what's happening here.  I 
understand the permission denied but not really why I'm getting it.  Any thoughts?
