Hi,
i am trying to delete multiple files from sftp with non-interactive way as per the desire ext. But i am not able to get the proper extension of the files for removing files.

lftp -u ${user},${passwd} sftp://${ip}<<EOF
cd ${path}
rm *${ext}
bye
EOF

Might help if you gave an example of one or so of the files you are trying to remove.

lftp does not perform globbing, unless you use the glob command so that the relevant line should read:
or eventually the mrm command which an alias for "glob rm":
Let me note that maybe you don't really need to use lftp if your only task is to remove files. Most likely you have ssh access together with ftp and the code above could be reduced to one single line:
Also note that it's not a good idea to store a password in clear text inside a script. If you can (or have) set-up Public Key Authentication for password-less connections, you can still use lftp and leave the password blank, e.g.
The same applies to the ssh command above, without modifications.

Thanks a lot for giving me such a valuable knowledge.
But here i got a strange output .

lftp -u ${user},${passwd} sftp://${ip}<<EOF
ls
cd ${path}
ls
bye
EOF

Here ls output is full listing of files, rather only name of files. also i am not able to change the desire path as in path variables.

The long listing depends on the server settings, I'm afraid you cannot change this behavior from the client side. Regarding the path be sure to choose a path relative to the home of the sftp user. If you use a full path take in mind that on many servers users are chroot-ed. This means they see their home as /. You can easily verify that. If the path is correct, could it be a permissions problem?
