Title: Downloading and then delete the downloaded files

For downloading you could try this code

 

<%

// fetch the file
String filename = "companySecret.txt";
String filepath = "C:\\";
response.setContentType("APPLICATION/OCTET-STREAM");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\""   + filename + "\"");

java.io.FileInputStream fileInputStream =  new java.io.FileInputStream(filepath + filename);
int i;
while ((i=fileInputStream.read()) != -1) {
     out.write(i);
}
fileInputStream.close();
out.close();

%>

 

Deleting the file from the server.

You could check if the file exists using File class in java.io.File. exists() method returns a boolean whether file exists or not.

If it returns true delete the file using delete() method.

Hi,
Any ideas on how a servlet would download files from the server to the client and then , based on whether the download was valid, delete the file from the server.
