The question has arisen as to how to determine if a file has been
completely delivered to the IFS.

I am not even sure of the validity of the question, perhaps it will not
show up until it is 'ready', but

No, the file will show in the IFS after the first byte has been received...

commonly accepted practice...send the file with a different name (or
extension) and rename it after transfer is complete...

Other option, send a flag file after transmission of the primary is done...
