ftplib question

[eight02645999 at yahoo.com]

hi
my purpose is just to connect to an FTP server and delete all files in
a directory
Is there a way using ftplib module? something like ftp.delete("*") ?
another way i can do is using LIST to list out all the files in that
directory, grab the filename, append to an array, then do a for loop to
delete one by one.
using the ftplib retrlines('LIST') , it shows me all the lines with
-rw-r--r--   1 user grp         6302 Apr  7 15:30  some file
how can i get only the filename?
thanks
