R help - Mar 2010 - Making FTP operations with R

Dears I need to make some very basic FTP operations with R.

I need to do a lot of "get" and issue a respective "delete"
command
too on the same connection.

How can I do that?

Thanks in advance

R does provide support for basic FTP requests. Not for DELETE
requests. And not for communication on the same connection.

I think your best approach is to use the RCurl package
(http://www.omegahat.org/RCurl).
