Well if you write a download script, then you can delete it at the end
and it won't be deleted until after the download completes:
//Do your ftp from remote to local'/path/to/file.ext'
exec('ftp_get.sh remotefile.ext /path/to/file.ext);
//or
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
ftp_gett($conn_id, '/path/to/file.ext', $server_file, FTP_BINARY)
ftp_close($conn_id);
<?php
//send proper headers for download
readfile('/path/to/file.ext');
unlink('/path/to/file.ext');
?>
For upload, depending upon how you're doing it, a call to unlink()
shouldn't execute until your FTP is done and exited:
<?php
//User uploads file to '/path/to/file.ext'
exec('ftp_put.sh /path/to/file.ext);
//or
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
ftp_put($conn_id, $server_file, '/path/to/file.ext', FTP_BINARY)
ftp_close($conn_id);
unlink('/path/to/file.ext');
?>
