iliay,

Yes, thats what I would do if this was a *nix based system.

However, Juan (the person who asked the question), is not running
*nix. He's on Windows, which, as far as I know, doesn't have a
crontab.

Course, I could be dead wrong. Some one please correct me if I am :-P

peace,

Juan,

You can do this eaisly by using a batch file. Just have it send the
needed FTP commands.

I'm not quite sure how to get this to run weekley (I've been on Linux
so long that I don't remember that much about Windows),  but I'm sure
that there is a way.

GL.
