Do the download via CFCONTENT (rather than simply clicking a file link) and you can
include a delete in there that will take care
of your problem.
EX: Here's one I do where I create an Excel spreadsheet that can be downloaded. When
it is, I delete it.
<CFSET tempFile = #RandRange("100000", "100000000")#>
<CFLOCK NAME="Classlist" TIMEOUT="45">
<CFX_Excel Query="QSort"
File="D:\path\to\the\file\\#tempFile#.XLS">
</CFLOCK>
<CFCONTENT TYPE="application/vnd.ms-excel"
DELETEFILE="YES"
FILE="D:\path\to\the\file\\#tempFile#.XLS"">

Subject: Temporary File Downloads
I am trying to think of a method to create a temporary file download...
I am creating a ZIP file using a random name based on CFID and making it
available for download after it has been created... but I would like to
automatically delete the file after it has been downloaded?
Trying to avoid a manual or scheduled maintenance to delete the files
created. Anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
thanks
Jay
