Telnet file delete option?

[Mandi]

Is there a handy dandy telnet command that will delete everything in a domain named whatever.fileextension?

I am transferring a site for a client, and neglected to find/delete all of the local ftp logs before I started the upload, so I've got these giant files in every @$%^(#@ directory now . . .

The UNIX rm command will delete files and can accept wildcards such as *.fileextension. If you want to test what a wildcard will match BEFORE deleting anything then use the ls command with the same wildcard to get a list. I also tend to run rm with the -v parameter before the file name just to watch the files dissapear

*/*.fileextension will get stuff one directory deep, if I recall.
