Delete Files Action - Access Denied

[sdornan]

I have a VBP Project I am using to deploy files to a web server, and I want to archive and then delete the cuurent files on the server prior to deploying the new files. I have been trying to use the "Delete Files" action but I get an access denied error when I try and use this. Now the wierd thing is if I use the delete folder action, this works just fine, but I don't want to do this as I only want to delete specific files from these folders.

The folders is defined as "%APP_SERVER1_IP%\%APP_SERVER1_ROOT%\wwwroot\appli cations\ufs" (Which translates to \\172.31.30.31\c$\inetpub\wwwroot\applications\ufs ")
and in the "Include" the files are defined as *.cfm

Any help here would be greatly appreciated!!!

Do you have 'Ensure file is writeable before deleting' checking on the Delete Files step?

This option is not checked

The Delete Files action will not be able to delete read-only files without that option checked.
