Of course it would be useful to send the code!
Here's one way...not the only way as there are other remoter tools...but this was one I was forced to use to perform FTP functions within a script....
FTPid='your user'
FTPpwd='your password'
FTPserver='your destination server'
FINDstatement='find /export/home/ -mtime +29 -exec rm {} \\;'
(
sleep 2
echo ${FTPid}
sleep 2
echo ${FTPpwd}
sleep 2
echo ${FINDstatement}
sleep 5
exit
) | telnet ${FTPserver}
Obviously the FIND statement can be anything.......I am putting in the sleeps so that it has enought time to complete before doing to next step.
