The unix command "find" is not available within a ftp session. Some ftp commands have similar syntax to unix commands but when you are in an ftp session you are not in a unix shell. If your only access to the server is an anonymous ftp session it may be advisible to approach the administrator of the server to handle filesystem maintenance tasks.

SENDINPATHS(8) InterNetNews Documentation SENDINPATHS(8)
NAME
sendinpaths - Send Usenet Path: statistics via e-mail
SYNOPSIS
sendinpaths [-n]
DESCRIPTION
sendinpaths checks pathlog/path for ninpaths dump files, finds dump files generated in the past 30 days, makes sure they are valid by
running ninpaths on each one and making sure the exit status is zero, and passes them to ninpaths to generate a cumulative report. That
report is mailed to the e-mail addresses configured at the beginning of this script (by default <pathsurvey@top1000.org> and
<top1000@anthologeek.net>) in order to supply the TOP1000 project with useful statistics: see <http://www.top1000.org/> for more
information.
When finished, sendinpaths deletes all dump files in pathlog/path that are older than 14 days (configurable at the beginning of the
script).
For more information on how to set up ninpaths, see ninpaths(8).
OPTIONS
-n Don't e-mail the report; instead, just print it to standard output. Don't delete old dump files.
HISTORY
sendinpaths was written by Olaf Titz <olaf@bigred.inka.de>.
