FTP Delete non empty directory

Question

I am connected to a Unix server and I am trying to, via FTP, delete the directory dir with several files in it. If I use

ftp> delete dir/*
         


        

Answer 1

I got it to work in two steps, on a server with restricted access, no SFTP, only FTP through commandline.

Like this :

mdelete folder_name/*
rmdir folder_name
