hello sherwin. that could be possible, but how can the system know that the file is already completed so it can be renamed without the indicator extension? its because the users upload thru automated ftp or batch assisted ftp, since the're not technical people and have no idea on renaming files. any other idiot-proof way that won't compromise the ftp automation that is being needed? thanks. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
