           Summary: sftp should allow local files (lrm) and directories
                    (lrmdir) to be removed
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 4.3p2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: sftp
        AssignedTo: bitbucket at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: matthew.flaschen at gatech.edu


I think OpenSSH sftp ought to have lrm and lrmdir commands to remove
local files and directories respectively.  This is useful, for
instance, when you download files by mistake.  I have implemented those
features in the attached patch.

I added the options the in-program "Available commands", but not to the
man page.  I couldn't figure out how the documentation worked, so
someone else would need to edit it if that patch is accepted.

It has been tested on Kubuntu Edgy GNU/Linux, but I'm fairly sure that
patch is portable.
