Re: Temporary File Downloads
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. Dave = "Always Drink Upstream From The Herd!"

RE: Temporary File Downloads
You should be able to easily store the CFID/Filename as a session variable and delete the file using at the end of the transaction. A better method perhaps would be to date/time stamp the file and delete it as a batch, say once a week, depending on the size of the file, number of downloaders, etc. -- Peter Tilbrook SafetyWeb Internet Solutions Pty Ltd 31-37 Townshend Street Phillip, ACT, 2602 AUSTRALIA Tel: (02) 6273 9901 Fax: (02) 6273 9902 http://www.safetyweb.com.au http://www.actcfug.asn.au -Original Message- From: Jay Wigginton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 26 April 2000 3:02 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Temporary File Downloads I am trying to think of a method to create a temporary file download...
