Let’s see how this activity works.

1.      Create a new solution or open an existing solution.

2.      Drag and drop a “FTP” activity which acts as a scope for all the activities in this
feature.

a.      Double click on the activity.

b.      Enter the server name, username and password.

3.      Now, drag and drop a “Remove File” activity within the FTP scope.

a.      Double click on the activity.

b.      Specify the path of the file to be removed.

You can also navigate to the property section and enter the path of the file to
be removed in the FilePath section.

4.      To see the success state of the activity, declare a variable in the result box of
the output section. Here it is “RF”. This is in “Boolean” datatype.

5.      Drag and drop a write log activity below the “Remove file” activity and enter the
above declared variable with the extension “.ToString”. This is done to convert
the “Boolean” datatype to “String” datatype.
