Remove old files from the server

- [Instructor] In most cases, you'll want to remove…or clean out your old site files…before uploading newly generated files.…Without this step, anything you delete on the Hugo side…would stay on your server until you go manually delete it.…If you only plan on adding content…and never removing anything, you could skip this step.…I'm going to add some code to the cleanRemote method.…What I'll do is I'm going to need to call SFTP client…to list the files that are currently on the server.…I'll do return sftp .list.…

We'll tell it to list the remotePathBase,…essentially, the public HTML folder.…And then after that, we'll do then.…We'll get back a list of objects,…and we want to act on those objects,…so we'll say objectList to a new block of code.…There are a few items we'll want to always ignore,…so let's filter those out.…Let's say objectList equals objectList.filter…and anything that is not part of something…we'll call ingoredRemoteItems.has obj .name.…

And that'll match against anything in this thing…that we're defining called ignoredRemoteItems.…
