# tFTPDelete Deletes files or folders in a specified directory on an FTP server. ## tFTPDelete Standard properties These properties are used to configure tFTPDelete running in the Standard Job framework. The Standard tFTPDelete component belongs to the Internet family. The component in this framework is available in all Talend products. ## Basic settings | Properties | Description | | --- | --- | | Property Type | Select the way the connection details
will be set.

| | Use an existing connection | Select this check box and in the Component
List drop-down list, select the desired connection component to
reuse the connection details you already defined. | | Host | The IP address or hostname of the FTP server. | | Port | The listening port number of the FTP server. | | Logon type | Select the authentication type to access the FTP server:



To enter the password, click the [...] button
next to the password field, enter the password in double quotes in the pop-up dialog box,
and click OK to save the settings. | | Remote directory | The directory where the files/folders to be deleted are located. | | SFTP Support | Select this check box to connect to the FTP server via an SFTP connection.

Information noteWarning: This option does not work with an HTTPS proxy. If you need an
HTTPS proxy, use the tSetProxy
component. | | Authentication method | Select the SFTP authentication method, Public key, Password, or Public key and
password.



This property is available only when the SFTP Support check box is selected. | | Filename encoding | Select this check box to set the encoding used to convert
file names from Strings to bytes. It should be the same encoding used on the
SFTP server. If the SFTP server's version is greater than 3, the encoding
should be UTF-8, or else an error
occurs.

This property is
available only when the SFTP Support
check box is selected. | | FTPS Support | Select this check box to connect to the FTP server via an FTPS connection.

If you are using an HTTP proxy, via a tSetProxy component for example,
you need to select this check box and set the connection mode to
Passive.

Information noteNote: If your FTPS server requires session resumption
between data and control connections, the tFTP components support this
only when the TLS version is set to TLSv1.2 and the following Java 17
JVM properties are configured:

```
-Djdk.tls.client.protocols=TLSv1.2
-Djdk.tls.allowLegacyResumption=true
-Djdk.tls.useExtendedMasterSecret=false
-Djdk.tls.client.enableSessionTicketExtension=false
```

This
configuration is necessary to allow Java 17 to work with session
resumption for FTPS connections. | | Keystore File | The path to your keystore file, a password protected file
containing several keys and certificates.

Depending on the FTPS server configuration, an FTPS server
private key or a client certificate is needed to establish an FTPS
connection. You can store the FTP server private key or your client
certificate in the keystore file.

This property is
available only when the FTPS Support
check box is selected. | | Keystore Password | The password for your keystore file.

This property is
available only when the FTPS Support
check box is selected. | | Security Mode | Select the security mode from the list, either Implicit or Explicit.

This property is
available only when the FTPS Support
check box is selected. | | Use Perl5 Regex Expression as Filemask | Select this check box to use Perl5 regular expressions in
the or Files field as file filters.
This is useful when the name of the file to be processed contains special
characters such as parentheses.

For more information about Perl5 regular expression syntax,
see [Perl5 Regular Expression
Syntax](http://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html#Regular-Expressions). | | Files | The names of the files/folders or the paths to the files/folders to be
deleted. You can specify multiple files/folders in a line by using wildcards or a
regular expression. | | Target Type | Select the type of the target to be deleted, either
File or Directory. | | Connection mode | Select the connection mode from the list, either Passive or Active. | | Encoding | Specify the encoding type by selecting an encoding type from
the list or selecting CUSTOM and

Proxy host, Proxy port, Proxy
user and Proxy
password fields displayed, specify the proxy server settings
information. | | Ignore Failure At Quit (FTP) | Select this check box to ignore library closing errors or
FTP closing errors. | | Data Channel Protection Level | The data channel protection level with which data is
transferred between the client and the server. For more information, see
[RFC 2228: FTP Security
Extensions](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2228.txt).

This
property is available only when the FTPS
Support check box is selected. | | Protection Buffer Size | The maximum size (in bytes) of the encoded data blocks to be
transferred between the client and the server. For more information, see
[RFC 2228: FTP Security
Extensions](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2228.txt).

This
property is available only when the FTPS
Support check box is selected. | | Enable Remote Verification | Select this option to enable remote verification. This option solves FTPS server architecture
compatibility issues. See [setRemoteVerificationEnabled](https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-net/apidocs/org/apache/commons/net/ftp/FTPClient.html#setRemoteVerificationEnabled-boolean-) for
related information.

This option is available when FTPS Support is selected in
the Basic settings view. | | Connection timeout | Specify the timeout value (in ms) for the connection. A
value of 0 or any negative values will be ignored. In this case, the default
value (that is, 60000ms) will be used. | | Use strict reply parsing | Select this option to use strict reply parsing. | | Config client | Select this option to set JSch encryption algorithm properties. To set an encryption algorithm
property, add a row in the table that appears by clicking the plus button on
the bottom of the table and enter property name and property value in the
Client parameter and Value

*setConfig* section at [Class JSch](http://epaul.github.io/jsch-documentation/javadoc/) for related information.

This option is available when the Use an existing connection
