</li>
<li><p>remove files and directories from a remote webserver</p>
</li>
<li><p>edit a file on the webserver with a single command</p>
</li>
<li><p>recursively get a remote directory</p>
</li>
<li><p>recursively put a local directory</p>
</li>
<li><p>lock and unlock remote files and directories</p>
</li>
<li><p>securely transfer over https</p>
</li>
<li><p>authenticate using the safer Digest authentication</p>
</li>
</ul>
