Question

I have a condition where I need to check for the file in another server, if that file exists I need to delete from the current server. Can any body help me.

Answer 1

Just write a ruby script and do something along the line with:

require "open-uri"

file_name = "file.name"

begin
  file = open("http://www.example.com/#{file_name}")
  File.delete("path_to" + file_name)
  p "File #{file_name} deleted"
rescue
  p "File not found"
end
