File.delete() not working [RESOLVED]

[rockies1]

I have the following Java code for FTPing files. When the file errors out (happens if there is no source file to pull) I get a zero-byte file in the destination. I want to kill that zero-byte file, but this code does not do it.

Any ideas?

	public void doFTPGet() throws Exception
	{
		FtpClient fcMyFtp = new FtpClient();
		fcMyFtp.openServer(this.getHOST());
		fcMyFtp.login(this.getUID(), this.getPW());
		
//		reading a file:
		if(this.IS_BINARY)
		{
			System.out.println("Getting Binary");
			fcMyFtp.binary();	
		}
		else
		{
			System.out.println("Getting ASCII");
			fcMyFtp.ascii();
		}
		try
		{	
			byte buffer[] = new byte[1000];
			int len;
	 		FileOutputStream fos = new
	 		FileOutputStream( this.getLOCAL_FILE() );
	 		TelnetInputStream   tis =	 fcMyFtp.get(this.getREMOTE_FILE());
	 		while( (len = tis.read(buffer)) != -1 ) 
	 		{
		 		fos.write(buffer,0,len);
		 		//System.out.println("Reading");
	 		}
	 		tis.close();
	 		fos.close();
	 	}
	 	catch( IOException e ) 
	 	{
	 		e.printStackTrace();
			//Delete the file
			File filepath = new File(this.getLOCAL_FILE());
			filepath.delete();
			throw new Exception(e.toString());
	 	}

	 	System.out.println("Done!");
	 }//End doFTPGet

Also, my file to delete is fully qualified with the path & filename...
