 Hello WP team,

 I am using wordpress 6.6.2 on Debian with php 8.2.24, everything on recent
 patches.
 Updates of local files via FS_METHOD ftpext with properly configured ftpd
 host, paths, credentials, file permissions.
 When updating translations / language files , I run into an error as
 follows:
 * Upload process uploads new jsons to wp-
 content/upgrade/wordpress-6.6.2-de_de, all fine
 * It then tries to 'delete' the old wp-content/language files but treats
 them as directories, which fails. See ftpd log example 1. Note ftpd only
 accepts directories as parameter for nlist. The UI reports : "Updating
 translations for WordPress (de_DE)… Could not remove the old translation.
 Translation update failed."

 Thank you for looking into this.
