He does not need it to exec a command on the server side, or change
permissions. Those are work arounds for "notifying the server side
of completion."
Since rsync does an atomic mv when it is complete, it is easy to have
something scan the directory and pick up new files, that are not dot
files. His problem was that an scp or ftp would instantiate the file
before the transfer is complete, so the scanning process may start
acting on an incomplete file.
