<b>Warning: </b> for the get and delete actions to work properly
with a Windows 2000 ftp server, it needs to be configured to generate
Unix style listings, and not the default MS-DOS listing. Or someone needs to write
the code to parse MS-DOS listings -any takers?

<h3>Deleting Files</h3>
As you've probably guessed by now, you use nested fileset elements to
select the files to delete from the remote FTP server. Again, the
filesets are relative to the remote directory, not a local directory. In
fact, the dir attribute of the fileset is ignored completely.
