Question Deleting Unix files from DOS
I have a DOS script on Windows NT that uses FTP to connect to a Unix server and to copy files to the WinNT.
So far, so good.
Now I want to delete those files on Unix afterwards but I'm unable to delete all files in the directory. How can I delete all the files on Unix from where i did ftp all files to my WinNT ?????

Yes they are.

The problem is I can use rm test.xml but for removing a whole directory rm needs a parameter.
rm -r *.xml
On the Unix prompt tis runs fine.
But as from the ftp prompt where i am in at that moment, it doesn't recognize the command anymore.

One should use mdelete *.xml from the frp prompt.
