Hi, and thanks for making the best command line FTP client available! :)

I have a small suggestion that I really, really need - but I haven't found
yet: One-way mirror and delete.

Wouldn't it be cool if we could combine the "mirror" command with "mget
-E", or have "mget" respect directories as well as files..?

Imagine; you want to move a huge directory from ftp1.somehost.com to
ftp2.somehost.com. You COULD run lftp on ftp1 or ftp2, run 'mirror -R' or
'mirror' on the wanted directory, then delete it manually when done.

BUT; if ftp2 has tons of space, and ftp1 is running out of disk space, it
would be nice to move + delete files, sequentially & recursively; one by
one, just to 'improve' the situation, gradually.

It's probably possible to make a script to do this, but it would be very
neat if the mirror command supported 'delete [remote|local] files after
successful transfer'.

Thanks again for making the LFTP! You're the best! Keep up the good work! :)
