Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Delete 5 days older files from sftp Post 302993172 by apmcd47 on Tuesday 7th of March 2017 11:27:09 AM

Do you have, or can you install, lftp? It is a scriptable FTP client that can use several protocols, including SFTP.

One of lftp's commands is cls which could be used to make a listing of filename and date which could then be processed locally to identify files to be deleted. It won't be pretty. The man page can be found here so that you can read it and decide whether you want to go this route. (The man page doesn't actually give any information about 'cls' unfortunately)
