Check the file size a couple times and confirm that it stays the same each
time you check it.  how long to wait to check might vary based on the
speed/reliability of your connection.  Make sure the last date/time modified
stays the same.

Subject: uploading large file - how to tell when it is uploaded

Hi

I have a website where a large file is uploaded externally via  
ftp from another site (so I have no control over it)
I then have a file which checks to see if this file exists - if it  
does I do an update then delete the original upload file.

I need to know that when my file checks to see if the upload file  
exists that the upload file has actually uploaded completely  
(sometimes it will be a quite large file)

I thought that maybe I could see (somehow) if the file was in use  
- but I can't work out how to do this? (I'm on Windows server)

Does anyone know how to do this - or - is there a better way

MTIA
