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

[Neil Aggarwal]

Thomas:

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think lsof is better.

If the client transfers a file with the same
name, it will be harder to track that since I will
have to keep track of the timestamps in the xferlog.

Doing an lsof and checking for output seems simplest
to me.

Don't take this as a criticism, just an open discussion
about the merits of one approach vs. another.

Thanks,
	Neil
