ftp recursive delete command?


I'm looking for a command line program that enables to recursively delete
folders on ftp servers.

I really like wget, it's an excellent tool and I was wondering if there a parallel for it for deleting directories.
I tried using the regular ftp command but it's not intended for transferring entire directory trees (it's specified in the manpage).

Does anybody know of such command?

Thanks
