Jump to PostDo you have access to the server's OS? If so, you can also develop a .NET app to handle this process if you are more comfortalbe with that, just create a schedule to run this as a routine job.

This seems like it may be better suited to a server cron job, since I'm assuming it depends on the date of the file's creation relative to the current date. You'd want some schedule task that runs daily.

Something crued I've done in the past is have a cron job from another server call an asp.net web page and have my code run. I've done this for small operations.
You can then schedule the cron job. There are sites online that will allow you to create and manage cron jobs free or for a fee
I've used setcronjob.com in the past.
