Hi Arun,
I wondered if you have had any success with this?
I am facing the exact same requirement, where I need to delete old log files from a remote server via FTP as I only have FTP access to the server in question.
Thanks.

wdel(1) Internet Applications - FTP wdel(1)
NAME
wdel - A wget-like program for deleting files on ftp servers
SYNOPSIS
wdel [option]... [URL [file]...]...
DESCRIPTION
Wdel is a free utility that is able to delete files on an ftp server.
Wdel is non-interactive and background-capable. It can delete files or whole directories and is meant to be a robust client even for unsta-
ble connections and will therefore retry to delete a file, if the connection broke.
Wdel supports connections through proxies, allowing you to use it in an environment that can access the internet only via a proxy or to
provide anonymity by hiding your ip-address to the server. For SOCKSv5-proxies Wdel supports also listening mode, allowing you to use
port-mode ftp through a proxy (useful if the remote ftp is behind a firewall or a gateway).
URL-Input-Handling
URLs are recognized by the ftp://-prefix.
Wdel first reads the URLs from the command line, and associates every file with the last URL until a new URL is found (note that this is
different from wput). Then, it reads the --input-file (if any) and parses the URLs in the same way. So you can specify e.g. one URL and
read all filenames from a file.
If there are no explicit filenames given for a singe URL, then the last part of the URL is taken to be the file/directory to be deleted. If
there are filenames, then the last part of the URL is considered to be the directory where these files reside in. Slashes at the end of the
URL or the filename (in case it is a directory to be deleted) are ignored.
OPTIONS
There are no special options introduced by Wdel. All of Wput's options may be supplied, although some will not be of any effect because
they do not apply for the process of deleting files. Please see wput(1) for a description of the options.
SEE ALSO
Many options can be set in a wputrc file. For its documentation consult the sample file provided by Wput.
wput(1) describes all setable options. Not all apply for wdel too though.
