I don't think I have to worry about empty directories. Those are easy
to purge. I was trying to avoid the zero-length file scenario but maybe
that's the best that can be done. The ordering would have to be right
so that upset doesn't first reference a file and then delete it of
course.
In another discussion someone suggested a web-based form for deletion
but if I was going to use that, I might as well use that method for
upload too. I don't think I'm ready to scrap sftp now that this is
implemented.
