Here are a couple of good find tutorials:

http://mywiki.wooledge.org/UsingFind
http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Find.html

The second one is more detailed, but is based on older unix-based versions of find. GNU find has many additional features not found in these older versions.

What is my problem is to show where are the files on the remote server!

Easy to make an local find command like :
Code:
find . -mtime +7 -exec rm {} \;
But how can i use this command on to an remote computer from the local computer?

As was suggested to you earlier in the thread:

i.e.- try to use the insecure, deprecated, featureless ftp as least as possible.
Using FTP is old and insecure. If you use it, you're limited by it. Again, mount the remote system as another file system (either use sshfs or nfs), and then you have the ability to use any command/utility you'd like.
