RE: FTP Problem !

Why don't you have them grab the file from you when they want it? Then they
don't have programming changes (or much) and they don't miss part of their
file?

    I already tried using a little file as a kind of
acknowledgemnet or receipt of upload so that they i
can identify the finish & delete it every time ....
      But my buss. partner is reluctent to use this
mechanism as they need to put lot of programming
efforts on their side & needs to change many common
FTP scripts. And I guess, it might not be feasible all
times as we are uploading for every 15 min through
submit jobs. Sometimes these outbound jobs lag in
queues and executes in a row!

   Any way could you please put more about using
environment variables?

   And is there any mechanism to hide or block the
files until i finish uploading ?
or 
can i move or copy all files from folder TEMP to
folder INBOX (both on Unix server) through my FTP
connection?

Thanks in advance,
Ravi
