RE: How to determine if a file transfer is complete

Another idea to be sure file transfer is complete :
I had a similar problem on UNIX systems with FTP. My solution was to send a 
second little file after first one. As I know, FTP works in synchronous mode. 
So if the same task from the sender sends 2 files one after the other, second 
file will arrive only when the first one's transfer has ended. So when second 
file is present on receiver, first transfer must be complete.

Regards.

This isn't hard.  ftp makes of log of what it does.  When the transfer
is
complete it writes a message to the log.  You then simply look for that
message.  I have code that does this that I can scrounge up for you if
you
want.
