[NTLUG:Discuss] How to know when files have finished FTPing?

[Kenneth Loafman]

Try this:

# lsof -c vsftpd | grep 'upload-file-name'

will tell you if vsftpd has the file open.  There are lsof options that
will tell you the reverse info if that's important, i.e. what has 'file'
open, and how its opened.
