remove a directory

[dude123]

first of all: THANK YOU MOZILLA FOR FILEZILLA, THUNDERBIRD AND FIREFOX!!

I USE THEM DAILY!!!

may i help to improve?

here it is:

it sucks that filezilla can not remove a directory, but recursively removes all files before removing the directory.

Instructions

◦ 1 Open a command prompt window on a Windows computer or a terminal window on a Linux computer.
2 Type the command "ftp hostname" to log into the FTP server. Replace "hostname" with the host name or IP address of the FTP server.

◦ 3 Type the command "delete dir_name/*" to delete the files within the directory. Replace "dir_name" with the name of the directory that you want to delete.

◦ 4 Type the command "rmdir dir_name" to remove the directory.

◦ 5 Type the command "quit" to close the FTP session.

(but maybe you have your reasons for not doing so)

FileZilla is NOT related to Mozilla in any way.

Besides that, what is the purpose of this item? "delete" can only remove a file, "rmdir" can only remove an empty directory. So how to remove a directory hierarchy - yes, by traversing it, removing files and then empty directories.

Your step 3 will fail if "dir_name" contains further directories.

I consider this item bogus. In case I did get it wrong, please elaborate and explain further. Thank you.
