I have been deleting some large subdirectories (10,000+ files) and it takes SO LONG! Instead of the current way cyberduck deletes files, can it just send a unix delete command (rm -rf)

I figure it might work where archives can be expanded.

Thanks

Unfortunately there is no recursive option available in the SFTP protocol.

But we might want to implement concurrent requests executed in parallel when deleting multiple files. We currently do this for Backblaze B2.

That would probably work really well. Deleting files is mostly a handshake, not much actual data is being sent. 5-10 concurrent deleting attempts would likely not stress an internet connection, but would make a 10hr deleting process take 1-2hrs!
