FTP Delete

[gmar...@cocq.com.ar]

Since there is no FTP Delete option in the FTP Sampler

Is there any way to do a "Login - Upload - Download - Delete" FTP sequence in Beanshell?

Thanks in advance!

Sure, it's possible, kindly find example code for deleting a file from FTP server below:

import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient;

FTPClient client = new FTPClient();

client.connect("your_ftp_server_hostname");

client.login("your_username", "your_password");

boolean success = client.deleteFile("file_to_delete.extension");

log.info("Success: " + success);

if (!success) {

  SampleResult.setSuccessful(false);

  SampleResult.setResponseMessage("Failed to delete file");

}

client.disconnect();

Few recommendations:

1. Use JMeter's FTP Sampler for upload and download, and scripting one for delete
2. Use JSR223 Sampler and "groovy" language instead of Beanshell - this way you'll be able to achieve optimal performance. Beanshell isn't being actively developed and/or supported and Groovy scripts can be compiled into bytecode hence can be as fast as pure Java. See Beanshell vs JSR223 vs Java JMeter Scripting: The Performance-Off You've Been Waiting For! guide for explanation, details on installing groovy scripting engine and some usage tips. 
3. If you're looking for the way of implementing the whole upload/download/delete sequence see FTPClient Javadoc for details. 
4. This group is actually for JMeter Plugins related questions, you should ask generic questions in JMeter Forum group
