jsftp-rmr

Recursively delete non-empty nested directories with jsftp, like 'rm -r'

FTP can natively delete only one directory at the time and it must be empty.

Useful for being able to clean up remote directories before uploading files.

Install

$ npm install --save jsftp-rmr

Usage

var jsFtp = require('jsftp');
 
// decorate `jsFtp` with a new method `rmr`
jsFtp = require('jsftp-rmr')(jsFtp);
 
var remoteDirectory = 'public_html/deploy'
    ftp = new jsFtp(options);
 
ftp.rmr(remoteDirectory, function (err) {
    console.log('Successfully removed:', remoteDirectory);
});

API
