This script command deletes a directory on a remote site. When connected to an FTP site you can only delete empty folders. When connected to a HTTP/HTTPS site you can also delete non-empty folders.
This is an example of the FTPDELDIR command:
FTPDELDIR "olddirectory"
Consider the following example where all files and sub-folders found in olddirectory are deleted on the FTP site.
FTPDELDIR "olddirectory" /delfiles /incldirs
Note: If the /delfiles option were omitted in the preceding example, the FTPDELDIR command would report an error if any of the sub-folders contained files because FTPDELDIR only deletes empty folders on FTP sites.
Wildcard characters are not permitted with the FTPDELDIR command.
To delete a local folder, use the DELDIR script command.
