How do I do a DELETE *.*;* over FTP? The stupid client or server keeps sticking ^ chars in the filename so it breaks.

I tried DISABLE PARSE, no luck.

FTP doesn't support wildcards for the DELE command. You'd need to use a command that supports getting a directory listing first and then using that to send multiple deletes. I think that command in FTP is "mdel".
