  • Out of curiosity, how do we utilize the "Remove Directory over sFTP" functionality if we're using the External System Key type setup?

    I'm super confused why "Remove Directory" is only available using basic credentials, while "Remove File" is only available using External System Key - shouldn't they both be availble in both conventions, similar to how the other smart services both have versions in both methods?  What's with the disparity?
