What is the DOS FTP command to delete subdirectories?

Question

I am stumped! I am talking about when you open a command window, then type FTP. The regular DOS commands don't work and the rmdir command from FTP keeps returning directory isn't empty.

Thanks.

Answer 1

The command is indeed rmdir. You just need to delete everything from the directory before attempting to delete the directory itself.

Answer 2

It is in fact rmdir. However you must delete everything in the directory before you can remove the directory itself. Hence the error message you are getting.

Answer 3

The ftp command in dos, is not dos.

There are similar commands, but that's just cause ms copied general shell commands from unix.

all ftp shells also have a command "help" which help you learn all the commands.

rmdir & dele do the job.
