I would say DELE is the right thing, and should be supported by almost
every ftp server; also IIRC the quote command is executed before any
other actions, I think you need to preceed the quote command with - like
-Q '-DELE ...' so that the quote command is executed afterwards if you
want to first download, and then delete.

you best bet is if you login with a ftp client, and ask the server for
'help', this lists all available commands.
