    Hey doubtsreadyapi,

    You can but it looks like youll need to download some .jars to support SSHing into your remote endpoint. Just plugging that code into a groovystep wont work on its own. There's an embedded link on the page that looks like it will help.

    However, i want to reiterate what i stated before. Relying on some other component in the jenkins pipeline thats more appropriate for the job would probably make it a lot easier. You could create a putty batch file to login via SSH and then truncate the relevant directory and this would be a LOT easier than trying to do the same thing via readyapi!
