Deleting the files

Hi,
I've to delete certain files older than X days from a Maintenance server.
I'm doing this using

find . -name lds\* -mtime $X \
-exec ls -l {} \;

find . -name lds\* -mtime $X \
-exec rm -fR {} \;

As well as I've to delete the files from another FTP server which are again older than X days.
For this again earlier I was using the same thing as above. but now the Clients have made their system as sFTP and hence this command doesnot work any longer.
Any clue how I can store the names of the files deleted from the Maintenance Server in a temp file and then read that temp file while deleting from the sFTP server.
I'm pretty new to UNIX..still learning. so any help with complete commands would be appreciated.
Also if there's any better easier way than what I'm thinking for this task woud be gr8..
Pls post replies..
thanks in adv.
