premiso Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 You want to use a CRON job if available on the server and instead of using PHP I would use the server to right a bash script (if Linux). Or a vbs script if windows and run that to clear the FTP. If it must be done with PHP you would need to use CRON for Linux and Scheduled Task for Windows to do the action and link to a script you created in php that does the above and run it.

trq Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Most hosts provide a web interface to cron, have you looked at yours? Otherwise, do you have shell access?
