Delete a directory on the remote host.
rstatus [file]

runique
Toggle the creation of unique local file names for retrieval using get and
mget. If the destination file name already exists, a numeric extension will
be added to the name, incrementing the number sequentially until a
unique name is created. For example, if the target local file name is ‘for-
tune’ and that file already exists, the target name ‘fortune.1’ will be used.
If fortune.1 already exists, the target name ‘fortune.2’ will be tried. This
will continue with extensions 1 through 99; if all versions of the file already
exist, the transfer will fail. The unique file name will be displayed if the
transfer succeeds. By default, receive unique is off.
