delete folder from the CLI?

[ms233]

I'm trying to automate some FTP transfers and I want to wipe out a directory and its contents each night.

I have been able to wipe the contents of the folder from the CLI with:

coreftp.exe ftp://user:pass@ftp.example.com/home -del 20050920/*.*

but my goal is to delete the 20050920 directory. It seems to work fine using the GUI but doing a -del 20050920 doesn't seem to do it. Am I missing something or is this feature just not supported?

Thanks in advance for any assistance
