SSH library and Execute command

[Varga Zsuzsa]

Hi,

I would like to delete a file on a remote server.

Copying (Put File) is fine.

 It does not delete the file the way I tried:

Open Connection    ${HOST}    port= ${PORT}  

Login With Public Key      ${LOGINNAME}    ${PrivateKeyFile}     # allow_agent=True

Execute Command    rm /transit/${File}

Thanks for any help

There should be some error message of why it was not deleted. Permissions? Is the file really there? Maybe rm is using option -i. In this case try to add option -f.

You can try to use the option to have sudo powers.

The file is really there.

There is a robot file: put a file then try to delete it.

It may be strange but try to run the following command before the `rm`:
Execute Command    chmod a+rw /transit/${File}

Next experiment is to (if your user can sudo):
Execute Command    rm -f /transit/${File} sudo=True

Another thing may be that the file is too big and it is not yet released to the file system.

Thanks for your answer.

All of  Execute commands do not work.

Seems 'Execute command' does not have permission to run a linux command

Did you try the chmod before deleting?

You should debug by executing ls -l /transit/${File}

Yes, I tried chmod.

That is what I tried and it worked:

Put File    test.txt    /transit    mode=0755

All of the execute commands don't work.

Messages in the Log:

Command exited with return code 1.

This service allows sftp connections only.

I used 'Login with public key' to connect.

Although that's the message:  his service allows sftp connections only.

So that is the explanation, only the SFTP commands work.

That means I can't delete the file?

Unforutnately, I do not know. :-(

[Hélio Guilherme]

Maybe only using a normal client/terminal and enter the `rm` command as usual.

(just like normal FTP commands).

Yes, the normal mode is ok.

After one testing process  the task of the test would have been to delete the old file and create a new one, which would start another process.

Then it will be different. :-)

Thanks for your answers.
