Description Kevin Doyle CLA 2007-07-12 13:09:42 EDT 
As mentioned in bug #196211 it would be nice when deleting a folder, on ftp, that is not empty that it would recursively delete all subfolders/files.

Currently as per the FTP protocol deleting a folder that is not empty is not allowed and displays an error saying that.

Since the expected behavior is that all RSE File Subsystems should work the same, this may also be seen as a bug report rather than an enhancement request. I'm therefore assigning it 2.0.1 for now.

Since RSE does ask the user for confirmation before the actual delete, and since a recursive delete is really painful on FTP if this is not implemented, I'm much in favor of making this change.

Bulk update target milestone 2.0.1 -> 3.0

Recursive delete implemented since I had some requirements for this feature.
Now deleting a folder that reports to be not empty will start a recursive delete on all subfolders and files.
