I need to delete a physical file on a server via a client action,

  • 0

I need to delete a physical file on a server via a client action, then notify a remote database of the file deletion event – would like this to happen entirely on serverSide.

Later versions of Delphi have exposed a lot of directory services that previously had been locked away in WinAPI calls. Currently I’m using Delphi XE but I’m not up to speed on all the new features (migrated from Delphi 7…)

Is there an event of some kind in the Delphi XE file/directory services that I can grab on the server side when a file is deleted, so I can notify interested parties of the delete event?

TIA

    AFAIK, you can find a unit called: IOSys

    It contains lots of stuff to play with folders and files. But there’s no notification included.

    You still need to use the function: FindFirstChangeNotification
