    Hi Juan,

    You can use the FTP client that comes with Windows XP, if you check on the
    options, you can create a file with all the commands that you want the FTP
    client to peform, the client will read that file and execute them one after
    the other, so you can login to the remote host, delete the file, and also
    copy the backup files...; you can create a batch file to execute the FTP
    client with the options and some variables...

    Hope this helps...

    Fernando.

    You might consider using cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/) to help you write
    some scripts in shell code, or download Perl binaries for Windows
    (http://www.northbound-train.com/perlwin32.html) and use Perl.
