Quicker way to remove files on server?

Question

I have 7k+ files on a server. Using FTP clients is taking forever. Is there a quicker way to make a mass remove of a certain folder or folders within a folder? Via command line maybe?

edit: I will try using Command Line. I have never used ssh and not sure if this host even lets me. Right now I am getting connection timed out error so not even able to connect to test :(

Answer 1

Command line you can just use del to remove a folder including all files.

Do a DEL /? at the command line to check the options you have there.

Answer 2

Via command line will most certainly be quicker.

On a windows system you can use del, on a *nix based system: rm.

Answer 3

Depend what kind of server is it.

The most common tool if its a linux box is an ssh server, then you can just use rm command.
