Scott:
This is not an easy task. You will need to write VB
scripts or use some other scripting language to delete the files and
then use the "task scheduler" to schedule the task to run at a
predetermined day(s) and time.
I have written Pascal scripts to do this function and compiled them
into an executable (.exe), but they will only work for the folders that
I have defined in the scripts and on files older than n days as
specified in the script.

Well, I guess I should've phrased my
question better. I think I can do this with a scheduled batch file
or other program, but I haven't any idea as to how to write such a batch
file or what kind of other software exists. Has anyone needed to
do this auto-deletion of files before, and if so, how did you do
it.

This sounds
like a job for a BATCH file that is triggered by your operating system
scheduler.

[WS_FTP Forum] Auto-delete files after time period
Is there an easy way to say auto-delete anything in a
folder that is more
than 2 days old? I'm
looking to have a generic uploads folder on our wsftp
server, but we don't want to have to keep it clean. I'm
guessing I could
use the Windows task scheduler,
but I don't know what to schedule...
