RE: How to determine if a file transfer is complete -- MIDRANGE-L

Y'all

This log is created only on the client end. It's not clear whether the 400 is the client of the server. If the former, this will work great. If not, some other method is needed. Someone mentioned renaming. The Windows ftp client has a rename subcommand, others do, too, I'd think. PUT the file with the dummy extension, then rename it.

I don't think there is anything for an exit point to catch that'd indicate the end of the file, but maybe. Haven't looked in a long time. But an exit program could log the incoming main file, then a marker file could be uploaded and the exit would know that. Then the exit could put a message on a data queue to trigger the next stage.

I'm interested in this as well.  If you scrounge up the code, please
either send me a copy, or post it publicly.

Thanks!
