    Hi,

    Try use FtpWebRequest class:

    $sourceuri = "ftp://<user>@<ftpserver>/<file>"
$ftprequest = [System.Net.FtpWebRequest]::create($sourceuri)
$ftprequest.Credentials =  New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential(<User>,<pass>)
$ftprequest.Method = [System.Net.WebRequestMethods+Ftp]::DeleteFile
$ftprequest.GetResponse()

    Hello.

    Very nice script for deleting file, which name is alredy known.

    How can it be modified to delete all files which older than 5 days?

    I need something like this but working with ftp:

    FORFILES /P C:\1 /D -5 /M *.* /C "cmd /c del @path"

    Thanks for help in advanced.

    Just use powershell:

        

    $Now = Get-Date
    $DayTime = "$($Now.ToShortDateString()) $($Now.ToShortTimeString())"

    $LastWrite = $Now.AddHours(-24)

    $Files = Get-ChildItem $TargetDirectory -Recurse | Where {$_.LastWriteTime -le "$LastWrite"}

            foreach ($File in $Files)
                {
    //whatever

               }
          }

    There is a great powershell addon that allows you to use FTP.  http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/PowerShell-FTP-Client-db6fe0cb

    Just FYI.
