Daily scheduled backups?

* FlashFXP v[3 ].[2 ], build [ ], [y ]registered, [ ]unregistered, [ ]pirated

I have searched and found some info but nothing that I understand completely. I don't know how to script but maybe I could learn, or maybe someone has an existing command line I could stick in the Run box in windows scheduler to do the following....

ftp a daily backup of my accounting file folder to my ftp folder..

any ideas, the only way I see how to do this now is if I manually set up a que every day with flash?

set up that same queue, but instead of transfering it, save it. then using windows' builtin scheduler to setup flashfxp to transfer your queue whenever you want. flashfxp's help file has explanation of command line parameters you should use.

Ok, that works. Now my next question is would it be possible to delete old files on the server somehow? Right now I am using the rename comand which works fine but after a year I would have 365 files (assuming I am only uploading one file). Any way to add a command to delete files older than one week or any thing simaler. I am using an old command line help file because work only has ver2.*, will be upgrading once new computer arrives but just wondering if it can be done in any version?
