FTP Help: Rsync Curlftpfs

[Jzak]

Hello,
I have an FTP server I work with on a consistent basis that I access my work orders from.
When I am done with the order I have to send the completed file back with the same name to a different folder on the ftp server.
The problem I am running into is removing the original order from the order folder. As of right now I have to do it all by hand and need to find a way to automate this function.
I have to keep the working orders on the server removing all of them and doing this on my HD is not an option.

What I want to do is have a script or function that will look in a particular folder and delete all the ones that match it on the server.
Is this possible? Is there a program already created that will do this?
I have not used FTP in linux as of yet so I am asking this as a total noob
I was suggested on one forum that I needed to mount the ftp server with curlftpfs and then use rsync to eliminate the matching files.
I have tried this but can not get rsync to do what I want it to do. Maybe I am not doing something right.
Here is the command that I am trying to use and was suggested to use

 rsync --progress --remove-source-files /home/o0ljzakl0o/all /home/o0ljzakl0o/nlftp/Requests 
  

The /all folder contains a copy of the orders that were uploaded to the completed folder on the ftp server and the /Requests is the location of the mounted ftp
server
All completed files are sent to a completely different part of the ftp server which I am as of right now not even messing with.
Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong.
Im a total noob to linux in general and am learning this as I go. I have spent several hours looking through the man trying to understand what is wrong but I can not figure it out.
If anyone here can help me out I would greatly appreciate it
Thank you

There are other ways to skin this cat, but I'd do it with a simple script:

#!/bin/bash
cd /home/o0ljzakl0o/all
ls -1|while
  read file
  do
    rm /home/o0ljzakl0o/nlftp/Requests/"$file"
  done

It could be done with less code, but this way is very clear and easy to follow.

Thank you!
That worked like a charm!
