I would like the ability to delete downloaded FTP files on the REMOTE
server when complete, just the --delete-after does for local files. I
added the feature to my 1.10.2 source and it seems to work pretty well,
but my coding is not great and I haven't studied the source layout enough
to be confident about creating a patch. I implemented it as
--delete-remote in the recursion section. It does not currently delete the
directories that it empties, just the files in downloads. It would
probably be a good idea to have another flag that would delete directories
and file or just files.
