Im trying to delete a remote file from ftps calling curl from python 3.6 and keep getting errors from curl. Im running
proc = subprocess.Popen(["curl", "-v", "-u", ftp_user+":"+ftp_pass, "-k", "--ftp-ssl", "--tlsv1.2", "--ftp-ssl-reqd", "--ftp-pasv", ftpconn, "-Q", '\"DELE '+remote_path+'/'+file+'\"'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
try:
outs, errs = proc.communicate(timeout=120)
except subprocess.TimeoutExpired:
proc.kill()
ftpconn is the address of the ftp server
in the response im getting this error:
curl: (21) QUOT command failed with 500
other operations on that ftps using curl, like list, download, upload etc. work fine. i have tried single quotes, double quotes all same result. when running from shell the delete works perfectly. this is the full output of the curl process from stdout:
