The stock ftp server?

BTW, what is the stock ftp server on 6-stable? I see two -- ftpd and lukemftpd and both are installed...

Is there a web-page with comparision somewhere, perhaps? Thanks!

I am not aware of a stock FTP server that can accomplish what you are asking for, at least without modifying the source or writing a plug-in of some sort.

You may have already thought of this, but my 2-cents is:

If you don't mind waiting until the file finishes transferring to examine it, you could 1) turn on verbose logging (ftpd -ll for stock ftpd; other ftp servers have better logging though), 2) log directly to a named pipe, 3) attach a simple script at the other end that determines what the uploaded file is and deletes it accordingly.

I would not recommend using ftpd for this; as I recall, and somebody correct me if I am wrong, it does not always log the complete path to an uploaded file. I'd suggest ProFTPd instead; it's CustomLog feature allows you to specify your own log format (like Apache). This means you can make a convenient string to regex, such as "date|user|action|file".

Good luck,
James
