Getting -Q to work

I'm trying to delete some files on a ftps server and keep getting the ftp 500
error return code.

If I do the following, the root directory is listed just fine, along with the
names of the files I want to delete:

    curl -k -u username:password ftps://domain.com/

If I then do the following, it errors out:

    curl -k -u username:password ftps://domain.com/ -Q rm file.name.zip

or

    curl -k -u username:password ftps://domain.com/ -Q "rm file.name.zip"

Once I get that to work, I'm assuming I can delete subdirectory files by
doing the following:

    curl -k -u username:password ftps://domain.com/ -Q cd subdir -Q rm file.name.zip

Thanks for any tips on getting this to work.
