How to Make a Temporary Doc on the Web

Make a temporary doc on the Web so that specific users are able to download the document, but only for a limited period. When you upload documents to online storage sites like YouSendIt and MegaUpload, they expire automatically after a certain period of time has passed. If you upload the document to your own server, manually delete it after a specific amount of time has passed in order to prevent anyone else from viewing or downloading it.

Instructions

      Open the document in the word processing software where you created it. Proofread it for any errors, omissions or other issues, then save it once you are comfortable with it being final-version quality.

      Visit a free online storage solution like YouSendIt or MegaUpload and click "Upload File" to upload your file to the site's servers. Files you upload to YouSendIt expire automatically after 14 days, whereas MegaUpload files become inactive 21 days after the last download.

      Upload the doc to your own Web server or to a file storage site like MediaFire, where files you upload never expire. Manually delete the file once you know all intended viewers have downloaded it.
