<![CDATA[Listing and deleting files from surfer CLI]]>Is it possible to list remote files and delete them with the surfer CLI?

When doing quick updates/testing, I now need to either go through the web terminal or the web interface.

It would be nice to be able to do everything from the same interface. (Maybe it's implemented but not documented?)

I have to fix the code. The code is at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/surfer/-/tree/master/cli

Is Surfer CLI based on a known CL implementation I can read on?

I am anyways improving the cli just now so I will fix this for the next version. Please note that using * here is a bit tricky as the shell might expand that for the local files!

Is there a way to delete everything at once?

I suggest to add this info to the cloudron surfer app doc, it might help inattentive people like me.^^

Is surfer get and surfer del what you want?
