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

No. You probably don't want to use HTTP for something like that. FTP is more reliable, there's more of a positive handshake with the client.
