Have you considered a small shell script to delete a specific named file
(or file[s]) and run it as a weekly cron job?
Also, telnet is natively insecure, passwords are sent "in the clear" sans
encryption. All traffic can be sniffed going over a telnet link. Consider
installing ssh, and use an ssh client like putty (clunky but free) or
SecureCRT (more features but around $99.00 or so) from an M$ box if that's
where you are working from.
Please...shut down telnet!
