Check the size of the file, check it again in 2 seconds. If the size is the same, the file should be on the server...
But your "flag-file" should do just as easy...

I've got one stack sending a file out to server, and a separate stack (on a separate machine) scanning the server for the availability of that file. When it sees it, it needs to retrieve it from the server.

Problem is, this second stack is seeing the availability of the file BEFORE it has completely transferred onto the server. If it starts retrieving it when it first sees it, well... the result isn't good.

Is there any simple way for the second stack to know the file transfer is complete before it starts accessing this file? I realize I could have the first stack send a small "flag" file out to the server after the original file was transferred, and the second stack could wait until it sees that flag... but I'm wondering if there isn't some easier way.

Thanks.
