Hello,

 

I encountered an issue using FileDeleter as it fails to delete the files.

 

I have some scripts deployed on FME Server that download some xls files daily, perform some reports and next day, new files are downloaded,and the old ones must be moved to an archive and delete the target file or folder.

 

I get the next error when the transformer FileDeleter is trying to dedlete the files from previous day in order to download new ones.

 

This error is not present in a Windows env (now I am trying to replicate that FME Server installation along with it's scripts on unix env...maybe this can be an issue?)

 

Error:

Please check for sufficient permissions on the source and destination. Alternatively, if Overwrite Existing File is set to 'No' please ensure output file does not already exist

did someone encountered this issue before?

 

Thank you,

The FileDeleter is a custom transformer by @Sigbjørn Herstad​ , I'm sure he can help out.
