CFFTP recursive deletion

Hello,

I'm trying to remove all files and directories within an FTP site and need a little help.

Is there anyway I can recurse through a directory and delete all sub files and directories? Or do I need to do all files and directories seperatly?

THe reason I need to delete is because I need to replace a large number of the files on te FTP server, so I thought it best to remove everything that was there and then replace them with a more recent copy of the site. Is that the best way?

If there is no recursive function for CFFTP how would I write a loop that could pass through each directory level deleting all files and directories within?

Thanks for your help and sorry for all the questions.

Kindest regards
