DESCRIPTION

16       edg-gridftp-rm removes the file from a GridFTP server.  This command
17       will return a status of 0 if the file was successfully removed.  In all
18       other cases, it will return a non-zero value and print an error message
19       to the standard error.
20
21       If more than one URL is given, then a successful return will only occur
22       if all of the URLs were successfully deleted.  The processing will stop
23       with the first failure.
24
25       NOTE: This command interacts directly with a GridFTP server.  If the
26       files on the server via an external database, use of this command may
27       cause a loss of coherency in the database.

OPTIONS

30       --proxy=proxy
31           Set the proxy to use for the GridFTP operation.  If this is unset,
32           then the underlying GridFTP library will try to find the proxy in
33           the usual locations.  This is useful if the proxy is in a non-
34           standard location, or the caller is a daemon which must act on the
35           behalf of a user.
36
37       --timeout=timeout
38           Set the overall time (in seconds) within which all the file
39           removals must complete.  If no timeout is specified a default 120
40           second timeout will be used. A negative or zero timeout will report
41           a timeout error before attempting to contact any of the FTP
42           servers. If a timeout error does happen some of the specified files
43           may already have been removed.
44
45       --usage
46           Short description of the usage of this command is given.
47
48       --help
49           A description of the usage of this command and information on all
50           of the options is given.
51
52       URL URLs of the following formats are accepted:
53
54           ftp://ftp.server.org//absolute/file/name
55           gsiftp://gridftp.server.org/~/home/relative/name.txt
56           gridftp://gridftp.server.org/home/relative/name.txt
57
58           Note: for the URLs without a tilde, the server configuration
59           determines whether the filename is absolute or relative.
