a related issue... when in the process of currently ftp-ing a file (eg. a remote user put-ting a file on a linux server running wu-ftpd, the file which grows in the server (because a remote user is uploading), is it considered an open file, so therefore it can't be opened for a download?
that could happen while a user is uploading something then an automatic job downloads the partially uploaded file... is that possible? if so how can that be avoided? thanks in advance... ----- Original Message ----- From: Holden Hao <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 2:21 PM Subject: [plug] Locking Files on Linux > How do you lock a particular file (ex. a spreadsheet file) such that if it is > already open, other people will only have read-only access.
