the ftp task lets you do a chmod of existing files, or delete them...so 
run the appopriate <ftp> ops before the upload. consult the docs for 
examples

Thank you. Actually that was the first thing I have tried, but it does not 
work. Either my Ant script is wrong or "chmod" does not work with "del" task ? 
Here is the build.xml that I have used. 

"
<target name="cleanfiles">
    <ftp action="del"
         server="..."
          userid="..."
          password="..."
          chmod="777"      <============ Can I put chmod here ? It seams to be 
ignored. 
          skipFailedTransfers="Yes">
          <fileset dir="report/standard">
              <include name="**" />
          </fileset>
     </ftp>
</target>
"
