Deleting Remote Files 

You can delete files on the remote host from FTP as follows: 

     ftp> DELETE remotefile

To delete a file in a different directory on a UNIX-type system, include
the directory name with the remotefile specified as you normally would on
the remote UNIX system as follows:

     ftp> DELETE directoryname/remotefile

Delete Multiple Files 

You can delete multiple files on the remote host using the MDELETE
command. 

With interactive prompting enabled, you are prompted whether or not to
delete each file in the fileset you have specified.  For example:

     ftp> MDELETE c*
     mdelete cat1? y
     200 DELE command okay.
     mdelete cat2? y
     200 DELE command okay.
     mdelete cat3?
     200 DELE command okay.
     mdelete cata4? n
     ftp>
