This may be very silly question but i am just trying to delete a file
from a server but the following code also doing a LIST on the server
as well the delete. Is there anyway to prevent the LIST?

So every time i do a delete i am getting some data back because of the LIST.

What i am trying to do in my main program just delete a file from the
server. I am not interested in the list of files on the server.

I can't really group the deletes together since the names of files are
told to my program by some other program. Also am not allowed to
buffer them up. I have to delete it the minute i am told the name.

Many thanks

int main(void)
{
curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_DEFAULT);
CURL *m_curl = curl_easy_init();

struct curl_slist *list = NULL;
list = curl_slist_append(list, "DELE 66070376.xml");

curl_easy_setopt(m_curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://test:test@localhost");
curl_easy_setopt(m_curl, CURLOPT_QUOTE, list);

curl_easy_perform(m_curl);

curl_slist_free_all(list);
curl_easy_cleanup(m_curl);
curl_global_cleanup();

return 0;
}

here is the server logs
