automatic deletion of file after successful download

[foy]

subject says it all.

let's say someone downloads a file from my server. is there a way I can tell the server to delete that file after it has been successfully downloaded? but only if successful cause if it's being aborted to leave it the way it is.

thanks

This level of function is not built-in to Apache Server. You will need a server-side script to handle the download and delete the file, and a client-side script to tell the server-side script that the file has been successfuly downloaded so that it can be deleted.
