Re: FTP Processing

I agree with this.

Forcing FTP to do something it's not meant to do introduces way too many
"weak links" in the process, not to mention makes it overly complicated.

But, I understand if it's out of your control. That doesn't mean you can't
try and persuade them to use the right tool(s).

If the trading partner is insisting on FTP, then they're going to need
to agree to let the file be read back, and maybe use a sentinel file as
the signal to begin processing.

Agreed. If they want something more transnational, some kind of rest or
soap call would be best. With REST they could submit the data with a HTTP
POST or PUT and get a transaction ID back. Then there could be another call
to check the transaction processing that your trading partner could poll
periodically.
