[FTP] delete filed with wildcard *

[tome9111991]

Hello.
Ich possible to use curl to delete more files?
I want to dekete all files with a "."

-Q "DELE ." will not work.
Curl is not supporting MDELETE

Ist there a easy way to use wildcards?

-Q commands are sent to the server unprocessed. If the server supports deleting wildcards, you can just use whatever syntax it uses. Likely, that be an asterisk, meaning -Q "DELE .*" should work.

Is not work

550 .*: No such file or directory

You may actually want -Q "+DELE .*" so that curl sets the remote directory before sending the command. If that doesn't do it, read the manual for your FTP server to see if and how it supports deleting with wildcards. If it doesn't, you'd need to obtain a directory listing and delete the files individually.
