Delete files from server using SFTP

Actually in the remote directory i am having several types of files, i want to delete a particular type of files let the directory having .xml and .txt files. how could we delete the particular type of files (.xml) using the rm command in sftp.Script need to run in cron. I failed to retrieve all the .xml files.
Code:
$remove_remote.sh
#!/bin/sh
user=abcd
passwd=blahblah
ip=1.2.3.4
ext=.xml

lftp -u ${user},${passwd} sftp://${ip}<<EOF
cd ${path}
rm *${ext}                                                                                   
bye
EOF

Is there any other method to do so.

Thank you
