FTP or SFTP backup file purging

[Ping Zhou]

Is there a way to automate the backup file purging for ISE on FTP or SFTP server? My customer is using FTP and SFTP servers as the repository for config and operations data backup. They don't have dedicate server admin for maintaining FTP and SFTP servers. They are asking if ISE has any capability of managing, deleting (to be specific), the backed up files on the FTP and SFTP repository server.

Thanks,

Such support is not available on ISE. If using Windows or Linux server, it should be easy to schedule a job to delete files based on filename patterns and timestamps.

Is there any 3rd party software in the market to offer such automation?

Create a File Expiration Task is for Microsoft File services. Other filers likely have similar.
