Sorry for replying to this topic.
I know it's already old.
But I need to know if there is some way to delete old data log files without using the S7-1200 web server. I mean, the same as there's an option to access a file via http://192.168.0.1/DataLog.html?FileName=MyDataLog.csv and even copy it, I would like to know if there's a way to access one of these files and delete it remotely in an automatic way.
I've already programmed a windows service to copy and download the files to a pc, but now, I need to know how to delete old ones. Our client don't want to delete files by hand, using the delete option of the web server. And s7-1200 is not infinite and we create a daily file.
Thanks in advance.

 Hi,

"I've already programmed a windows service to copy and download the files to a pc", I am searching for the same you already did. But not able to download file from web server. As you have already done, could you share the process or program.

Thanks

Hi,

maybe the name of the topic is a little bit confusing. I think what you are searching for is a possibility to delete files via the webserver via a program e.g. a batch file (without operating the browser manually).

I don't have experience with the S7-1200 Webserver but I posted a topic about the S7-1500 Webserver: Curl Commands for S7-1500 Webserver.

Because of the possibly different file structure in a S7-1500 I can not promise that the commands in the topic work analog with a S7-1200 webserver.

But you can always copy the curl command(s) when you operate your browser manually (in the way you wish to automate further)  as shown here: Copy as curl

Don't forget that depending on your settings some operations (e.g. deleting, uploading, ...) require admin rights. Therfore you need to login e.g. via wget analog as shown in the topic about S7-1500 Webserver Curl commands.
