SFTP: rmdir recursively

[kafoso]

This is a request for expanding the rmdir function to allow for recursive deletion of a directory.

Currently, rmdir accepts only two parameters:

• path
• cb

To maintain backward compatibility, I propose to expand the function to three parameters, where the 2nd parameter becomes options and the 3rd becomes cb. options is an optional Object with a fallback to cb.

SFTPWrapper.prototype.rmdir = function(path, options, cb) {
    if (!options || "object" != options) {
        cb = options;
        options = {};
    }
    // Perform directory deletion
};

The options Object may of course contain numerous keys. But for this request, I have the following in mind:

var options = {
    resursive: true
};

Same goes for mkdir, a workaround here is to launch the command connection.exec('rm -r') or connection.exec('mkdir -p').

Can you suggest me a sample to run the command?...
