reaper.watch({
    host: 'my.awesome.bucket',
    user: 'user',
    password: 'password'
});
 
reaper
    .run()
    .then(function () {

API

Note: API intentionally are the same as that of the fs-reap.

var reaper = new Reaper()

var Reaper = require('ftp-reap');
var reaper = new Reaper();

reaper.watch(dir)

A FTP connection to reap.

For more details about possible connection properties, look at ftp#connect() API.

reaper.watch({
    host: 'n.n.n.n',
    port: 42,
    path: '/path/to/my/files'
});
reaper.watch({
    host: 'other_host',
    port: 21,
    path: '/path/to/my/other/files'
});
 
// or
 
reaper.watch(
    {
        host: 'n.n.n.n',
        port: 42,
        path: '/path/to/my/files'
    },
    {
        host: 'other_host',
        port: 21,
        path: '/path/to/my/other/files'
    }
);

reaper.maxAge(ms)

Set the max age based on last modified time for deletion, defaulting to Infinity.

You may use Integer to specify milliseconds, or human-readable string format like 3 days or 2 months. For more details look at ms API.

reaper.run().then( => ).catch(err =>)

Recursively iterate through directories and delete old files. Directories structure are safe. Folders and symlinks (UNIX systems only) are ignored.

FTP connections runs in parallel, so you shouldn't see significant perfomance loss.
