Overview

The Remove Directory Component allows users to delete a directory from an FTP or SFTP server. It ensures efficient directory management within automated workflows.

Usage

This component connects to an FTP/SFTP server and removes the specified directory.

Processing Logic

1. Establishes FTP/SFTP Connection: Securely connects to the remote server using provided authentication credentials.

2. Attempts to Remove Directory:

   • Tries to delete the directory at the specified path.

   • Ensures proper handling of directory permissions.

3. Handles Success & Errors:

   • If successful, sends confirmation to the out port.

   • If the directory does not exist or permission is denied, emits an error to notFound.

4. Closes Connection: Ensures the FTP/SFTP session is properly terminated.
