'Usage
 
Dim instance As FtpClient
Dim folder As String
 
instance.DeleteFolder(folder)

public void DeleteFolder( 
   string folder
)

Parameters

folder

The name of the folder to delete. Some FTP servers may be case-sensitive!

By default, the folder will be deleted from the current working folder. If you want to delete the folder from another location, you could use the ChangeCurrentFolder and/or ChangeToParentFolder methods to change the current working folder. Absolute paths can also be provided, however some FTP servers might not support absolute paths and different server types may have different ways of representing absolute paths.

The current working folder can be retrieved via the GetCurrentFolder method.

This overload of the DeleteFolder method requires that the folder be empty in order to delete it. Some FTP servers will allow folders that contain child items to be deleted, therefore, it is possible that calling this overload of the DeleteFolder method will delete a folder even if it contains child items.

The DeleteFolder method will send the RMD command to the FTP server.

This method is the equivalent of the RemoveFolder method of the ActiveX version of the Xceed FTP Library.

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
