hello

i am using libcurl to download and delete files from an ftp server.

For some reason its taking lots of time to a delete a file compared to
downloading it!

I am using the same handle for downloading and deleting i.e i do not
disconnect and reconnect

But when i use wininet its lot quicker to delete the files. I am
running FileZilla server here are the server logs for both curl and
wininet. Take th look at the number of steps need for delets. There is
only 2 or 3 logs for wininet to delete a file but many for curl. Is
curl doing lot more work? is that why curl is taking more time to
delete files?

thanks
san
