Delete files on FTP server using date

Question

Can you advise how to delete files on the FTP site older than a week?
I can see how to delete but not control the age?
I am using VB.net

Answer 1

Try using Ftp.GetList() method. It returns List of FtpItems, each file should have FtpItem.ModifyDate property filled

If you are controlling how your files are named, you may consider using date/time in their names e.g. 20171010235959Members.csv

That marks the file explicitly with certain date and makes many things much easier.
