delete a file remotely

I need to proceeduraly delete a file from my site from a remote location, but cannot think of a mechanism (that works) for doing this. The file in question is a messaging file that is retrieve using curl, but need to delete it from the UH server once I have it.
Ideally, I could use ssh with exchanged keys, but this isnt working, possibly because I'm connecting via dialup so have a dynamic IP.
This is part of an automated system, so typing a password in response to a prompt is out of the question.

I feel the solution is right there, but it's eluding me.

Thanks.
paul
