I already know how to upload a picture from a web page to FTP. Can someone please tell me how I can delete a picture from FTP via a web page? I will be building a web application that will allow you to delete a certain picture from a folder in FTP.

If you mean they submit a form with the name of the image, then use the FileSystemObject on the ASP page that processes it.

I already have a web page that lists all of the file names on my web site. Let me try to explain what I am trying to do.

I am going to build a web application where users will be able to delete a certain product from the online catalog.

Look at this example:

Product ID, Product Name, Product Description, Price, and ImageName (the name of the pic file on the web site).

I can delete all of the field names from the database. But I would like to be able to delete the image file from my web site at the same time without having to use FTP. I already know how to upload files to FTP from a web page.

Does this make sense? Can someone please give me some sample code to delete a file from my web site using a web page instead of FTP?

This particular client wants to have some specials. He wants to be able to take them down as soon as they are no longer available.

Try the following code:

strPath = Server.MapPath(ImageName)
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.DeleteFile strPath
Set objFSO = Nothing

And incidentally, you're not deleting the files from FTP, you're deleting them from your webspace. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a method of connecting to the server so you can manage your webspace.
