>As someone who spends more time downloading than uploading at ftp sites 
>(whoops!) any clues how to perform the following:

if everyone uploaded as much as they downloaded then ftp sites would 
be unusable cos of all the crap in them :))

>1 - Delete files (like all those non-STiK friendly JPEGs)

deleting files in nos ftp is just 
dele filename for a file
and rd for a directory
you have to have the privs to delete the files though.. 

>2 - Create directories (before the single one gets unmanageable

mkdir creates a directory from within ftp

nos and cix commands should be the same they are standard unix type 
commands mgftp I have to admit I dont use very much :)
