List of files i have to delete - can FileZilla help?

#1 Post by Kazooie » 2021-12-05 02:53

Hello
I have a .csv file of 2500 files I have to delete from my server.
Is it somehow possible to let FileZilla delete these files automatically, instead of manually delete them?

If not, do you know another tool which can do it?

No, at least the GUI versions of FileZilla and FileZilla Pro cannot be operated automatically. Not even a custom queue would help as deletions aren't queued.

FileZilla Pro CLI can be scripted, but you would have to build the surrounding script(s) yourself (and CLI is a paid program).


Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any software that directly takes comma separated value files/file lists for automated operations on FTP servers. Anyone out there who can recommend such a tool?
