Before you go completely mad, I think the answer is: you can't.

At least, I haven't found a way of doing such.

Rename doesn't work either... but I think that's because the server doesn't
have a rename command available (BICBW).


If you are updating a file, you don't need to delete it first - just upload
over the top of the previous version.

To delete, you'll currently have to use !TCPIP or the command line version of
ftp... both are effectively the same since you end up with a command line.

Hope that doesn't dishearten you too much. :-)
