RE: How to determine if a file transfer is complete

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
