BEFORE I issue an "rm" command inside a find -exec, I always test it extensively to be sure it's working properly.
There are a few variations:
find /path/to/dir -mtime +7 -type f -exec ls -l {} \;
This will give a long listing of the files which satisfy the find criteria. i.e. the ones to be deleted.
You can also try:
find /path/to/dir -mtime +7 -type f -print
If you use "." in place of /path/to/dir - ALL directories below your starting point will be searched.
Typical:
cd /dir/to/purge
find . -mtime +7 -type f -exec ls -l {} \;
Good luck

wzd-config
WZD-CONFIG(1) wzdftpd Client Applications WZD-CONFIG(1)
NAME
wzd-config - retrieve information about the installed version of wzdftpd
SYNOPSIS
wzd-config { --prefix | --exec-prefix | --data-dir | --libs | --cflags | --version }...
DESCRIPTION
The wzd-config utility prints configuration parameters of the currently installed version of wzdftpd. It is intended, for example, to be
used by software packages that want to interface to wzdftpd to facilitate finding the required header files and libraries.
OPTIONS
To use wzd-config, supply one or more of the following options:
--prefix
Print the installation prefix, as specified in configure script.
--exec-prefix
Print the installation prefix for executables, usually the same as prefix. This is where you will find server ($eprefix/sbin) or
tools ($eprefix/bin).
--data-dir
Print installation dir for data, modules and backends.
--libs Print the location of object code libraries (use to develop new extensions).
--cflags
Print the location of include headers (use to develop new extensions).
--version
Print the version of wzdftpd and exit.
If more than one option (except for --version) is given, the information is printed in that order, one item per line.
NOTES
In releases prior to wzdftpd 0.4, before the wzd-config came to be, a method for finding the equivalent configuration information did not
exist.
HISTORY
The wzd-config utility first appeared in wzdftpd 0.4.
