For automated tasks like this, I recommend using a command-line client and invoke it through your favorite task scheduler. One such command-line client is FileZilla Pro CLI.

You could always use the built-in task scheduler of your operating system. On Windows it's literally called "Task Scheduler". Create a task, set it to run daily, tell it which program to execute and the arguments to the program.

Have a look at the knowledge base:

https://filezillapro.com/docs/v3/filezi ... -a-script/
https://filezillapro.com/docs/filezilla-pro-cli/

Further information is available in the manual.
