Cannot Use Applescript and sftp To Delete Remote File

Description (last modified by dkocher)

This last worked in version 2.7.3 of Cyberduck.

In newer versions, Applescript returns the error: 

"Cyberduck got an error: Can't get file "filename" of Browser 1." 
(where filename is the actual name of the file to be deleted).

The code I'm using is: 

if exists file filename then
   delete file filename
end if

So Cyberduck is recognizing that the file exists on the remote server. It just can't delete it.

You have to write 

delete item filename

Unfortunately, "delete item filename" results in CyberDuck displaying "cannot delete folder" in its status area (bottom left).

Adding the "display dialog filename" before the attempt to delete shows that the variable "filename" correctly contains the name of the file to be deleted (in this case an image file).

In my case, the containing folder name and the filenames are similar (i.e. the folder name is "LH-413" and the filename is "LH-413.jpg"). Perhaps this is causing the problem?

Replying to anonymous:

Sorry, I should also note here that I'm using the sftp protocol to connect to my server.
