The Delete File with FTP/SFTP step enables users to remove files from an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) server. This step requires proper authentication through a username and password to connect with the designated server type, regardless of whether an FTP server permits anonymous access.
Note: All Certificates and related information for FTP/SFTP steps are stored within the Flow Step and are not stored independently in the database or the server.
