'file in use' error

Hello,

Sometimes an application program tries to open and read a file that is still being sent to, or received by, the FTP server.

Is there a way to test if a file being transfered or if it has completed transfer?

Thank you

Best practice is to use the Serv-U Event mechanism to get notified of when a successful transfer has taken place. You can then configure the event to run an external program on that file (or do other tasks like send an email).

What's the intended purpose of the test? Are looking for something like a Serv-U Event that will notify you when an upload/download is complete? Or are you looking for some sort of batch script that can detect if a file is being written to?

I am looking for a 'best practise' recommendation for an application to get files from Serv-U that are completed transfers.

Use Serv-U events or application file open test?

Thank you
