FTP commands

Hi folks.

I'm trying to use a single line to delete a file on a remote ftp
server. I am in the OS X bash shell, and I am trying to integrate a
gateway to the bash shell. I am using ftp commands, and this is the
current syntax I am using, which reports that it is working, but it
isn't deleting the file.

ftp -p -d ftp://username:password@ftp.domain.com/subdirectory/ delete
filename.jpg

It goes to the proper subdirectory, but the delete isn't happening,
nor being asked to be done. I've turned on debugging and passive
mode.

Any ideas? Cheers.

Hi there. Needed a one line solution, and I found one using an echo
command.

Cheers

Try

ftp -p -d -n ftp.domain.com <<'!'
user username password
cd subdirectory
delete filename.jpg
!

(thats 5 lines) and see if that works. This is being done from general
ftp experience, I don't have an OS X machine to try it on, so if someone
else offers you a suggestion then try theirs first.
