Permission denied problem

I am trying to tidy our server and write cron to keep it tidy.

We took on a third party to do some work last year. They were given their own UID/pwd so that they would have limited access. Part of what they wrote created an archive file at the end of every day.

A year on and we don't want to keep all the archives. I am trying to write a line that will delete all files older than 30 days from the folder (that I can insert into our standing monthly cronjob).

Find -name “*.html” -mtime +30 -exec rm -f {} \;

This command works only when I have gone in under the the old UID. If I try to run it from the standard UID I get 'Permission denied'. So obviously cron won't work for me yet.

What should I try next to get around this file permission problem?

thx

RexJ
