    To change the name of a remote file, use the RENAME command.
    The following command renames file YEAR.DAT to YEAR96.DAT on the
    connected remote host:

    FTP> RENAME YEAR.DAT YEAR96.DAT

    To remove a remote file, use the DELETE command. The following
    command deletes all versions of file YEAR.DAT on the connected
    remote VMS host:

    FTP> DELETE YEAR.DAT;*
