I am working on a project which allow windows service to upload and download log files to a FTP server into a directory, The Service has been working well but I experience a slow connection in recent time due to the huge number of logs since 2013.I want to create another service to start deleting some of those files base on their date, but I am thinking if this is the right idea
getting the two services speaking to the same FTP Path. Can anyone help me?

What I have tried:

I have tried running Multiples Services to do this, but the not sure this could work without breaking.

It's a good idea, a lot of logging systems delete logs over a given date.

Why are you creating a service to do the clean up? Just write a normal Console application that you setup in Windows Task Scheduler that runs the job once a day.

Not really a job for a service. If you really want it into the service, why not add the functionality into the original service?

There should be no problem running several services on the same folder as long as they don't access same files at the same time.
