Good idea Buck. It wouldn't work for anyone sending to us though. We
don't allow anyone to get from a directory they can put into. We don't
want to become someone's drop box if their userid and password get
compromised.

I wonder if that could be an issue if the recipient starts processing the
file as soon as the put was done?

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.

That's a lot of moving parts to work around the very nature of FTP.
