Im not sure if this is the best place to ask this question but here goes....

I have a situation where by I need some sort of ASP.NET app to be running on an IIS webserver that periodically looks for files to arrive in an FTP folder (the arrival of the files I have no control over) and will then process any files into a database and remove them.

Now processing the files and all that i am fine with but, i was wondering if it is poosble to create an app that runs to a schedule in such a way on an ordinary web host. I dont have access to the server itself its just an ordinary IIS hosted service like GoDadday that I am using.

hope someone can give me a clue as to how i should go about it.
