[Noël Köthe]

Hello,

I was pointed to the following problem :

When I want to delete a directory recursivly this doesn't work is there
are dotfiles in the directory:

(this is lftp 4.0.9)

lftp ***@localhost:~> ls -la testdir
drwxr-xr-x 2 test test 4096 Jul 31 18:41 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 test test 4096 Jul 31 18:40 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 test test 0 Jul 31 18:41 .dotfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 test test 0 Jul 31 18:40 .test
-rw-r--r-- 1 test test 0 Jul 31 18:41 testfile
lftp ***@localhost:~> rm -rf testdir

`set ftp:list-options -a' should fix the problem (if the server supports -a
option).
