I need a ftp script to delete old text files on a remote server based on the file retention rules such as 2 weeks, 1 month, etc.
Summary: I need a script for the following criteria. I need to delete files older than the date I am passing in the arguments. E.g: Here are the file names in the directory fname20021030.bak fname20021029.bak ...
Summary: Ohh, the script should be run from cron at the interval in minutes you are looking for old files. i.e. if you want to remove files that are older that 30 minutes old, run the script every 30 minutes....
