Assuming that you'd like to delete it on the FTP server, and not locally, the basics of this seem pretty easy to add: 0. Documentation. 1. Some kind of command-line option to control the new "source-delete" feature (or whatever you decide to call it). 2. src/ftp-basic.c: Add a new function, ftp_dele() (very nearly ftp_retr() converted to send "DELE" instead of "RETR", and to expect a "2xx" success response instead of a "1xx"). 3. src/ftp.h: Add function prototype for ftp_dele(). 4. src/ftp.c: In getftp(), if ftp_retr() succeeds, and the new source-delete option is enabled, call the new ftp_dele(). 5. src/ftp.c: Add a bunch of new debug and error message code to deal with ftp_dele() activity and failures. I've done steps 2, 3, and 4 in my experimental code, and the basic functionality seems to be there. If anyone is eager to do the whole job and wants to see my rough code, just let me know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven M.
