Is there anyway to delete a file on another web site using php. If I have the ftp user and password can I send a command to delete file on another domain. What I need to do is grab the stat file from 1,000 domains and then delete that stat file so it can start building new stats from scratch each 24 hours. I suppose I could place a php on the domain that I could call up that file and have it delete the file, but that means I would have to place 1,000 php files, one on each domain.
Anyone have any ideas on how to make this happen. Is there any sort of ftp program that could be actived by cron job that could do this?

PHP can open an FTP connection easily, So i would guess it should just be a case of starting the FTP session then sending the ftp_delete().

I have never done anything like this, But looking at php.net this looks like the code you are looking for (or at least something similar)

PHP Code:

<?php
// remote file to delete
$file = 'public_html/old.txt';

// The server
$ftp_server = "ftp.server.com";

// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);

// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);

// try to delete $file
if (ftp_delete($conn_id, $file)) {
 echo "$file deleted successful\n";
} else {
 echo "could not delete $file\n";
}

// close the connection
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>
