That's what we do now.

The files should be all unique, but checking the scripts of the
testers, we found that they did some typos and other errors, e.g. they
copied a file 4 times to the server.

Because processing is started via a FTP Exit program, it might in fact
happen that there is a lock on the file, because there might have been
4 jobs running at the same time.

(Can't say it definitely, that's what i wanted to express in the
initial "design" sentence :-), because there are 20 jobs sucking on a
data queue for processing orders. Could scale down, but for a load
test... :-)

Hm, checked that, no, the two 3029 files were not affected by these
errors. They were unique.
