Using .NET assembly to remove folder

2020-10-08 14:02

Hi,
I have an SFTP site were files are delivered in a folder, were the folder name would be the previous day date. If it's 8th October the folder would be 20201007. After that the files are downloaded, I need to remove the folder with all of its contents.

I configured the below variables in the script

$yesterday = (Get-date).AddDays(-1)
$timestamp = $yesterday.ToString("yyyyMMdd")

Then I'm trying to remove the folder using the below command

Session.RemoveFile(RemotePath.EscapeFileMask(/folder/$timestamp))

I'm being prompted /folder/$timestamp isn't recognized.

Regards
RamC

Because that's not a valid PowerShell code. It looks more like C#, but it's not valid C# either.
Also with Session.RemoveFile, do not use RemotePath.EscapeFileMask.

It should be like:

$session.RemoveFile("/folder/$timestamp")

(assuming you have $session variable with an instance of Session class)
