Using a script you could ftp the files to a local directory then create another ftp to delete them. Below is a script that I use:
Code:
ftp -in 00.00.00.00 <<End-Of-Session
user user_id pass_word
type ascii
cd outbound
lcd /lsf1/law/logan/OWENS/temp
mget *
quit
End-Of-Session
cat /lsf1/law/logan/OWENS/temp/* > /lsf1/law/logan/OWENS/OM810
if [[ -s /lsf1/law/logan/OWENS/OM810 ]]; then
   echo 'ftp -in 00.00.00.00 <<E-O-F' > /law1/lawson/logan/edi_bin/om810ftp
   echo 'user user_id pass_word' >> /law1/lawson/logan/edi_bin/om810ftp
   echo 'type ascii' >> /law1/lawson/logan/edi_bin/om810ftp
   echo 'cd outbound' >> /law1/lawson/logan/edi_bin/om810ftp
   cd /lsf1/law/logan/OWENS/temp/
   ls | while read filename
   do
     echo 'delete ' $filename >> /law1/lawson/logan/edi_bin/om810ftp
   done
   echo 'quit' >> /law1/lawson/logan/edi_bin/om810ftp
   echo 'E-O-F' >> /law1/lawson/logan/edi_bin/om810ftp
   . /law1/lawson/logan/edi_bin/om810ftp
   rm /lsf1/law/logan/OWENS/temp/*
   cp /lsf1/law/logan/OWENS/OM810 /lsf1/law/logan/edi_arch_inb/OM810.inb."$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S)"
else
    echo "File OM810 not found or is empty"
	return 12
fi
exit
