The FTP protocol itself only specifies a command to delete a single file, or
to remove a single directory. However, most FTP clients have the ability to
delete multiple files. In a graphical FTP client, you would usually select
all the files you want to delete and hit the Delete key. In a command-line
FTP client, you would normally turn off the interactive prompting ("Delete
this file? And this file? And this file?" gets a little old) using the
"prompt" command, and follow that up with the "mdelete" command - multiple
delete.
