RE: FTP Problem !

I'd probably FTP the file to a temporary file name, e.g. Sending.tmp 
Then once completed, you then would rename the file to the production name, e.g. SENTFILE.TXT for your partner to find and/or process.

We do something very similar, in that we look for particular extensions of the file(s).
.TXT for what we've sent.
.PROC for what they've processed.
.RET for us to retrieve.

HTH,

would suggest you place a "marker" record at the end to indicate end of
file. He can read last record 1st, if not
end of file, wait & try again.
Don't see how you can set auth on their machine.
