LOGS - Script to clean the partitions of the file server and to effect the backup of the logs by FTP

From wiki.morphey.org

This script that I have done, serves to:

1 - to effect the backup of the logses of system through FTP; 2 - to cancel the old whole logses; 3 - to free, in general, the space on the disks.

If the script is editted, he is able' to change the host of the FTP, user and password.
