Check if file is done transfering

[markthien]

Hi guys,

I need to know how to check if the file has been finished transferred. For example, I am transferring a 100MB file from server A to server B, and it takes like 2 minutes to transfer. In server B, I need a java method to check if this file has been fully transferred then I will process this file.
Appreciate any comment please. Thanks !

regards,
Mark Thien :D

Either transfer another small file as a marker and have "B" check every few seconds for the arrival of that file to indicate completion, or have it chaeck the size of the file every few seconds until it can be determined that the file is no longer growing. Or use an actual file upload type transfer rather than ftp is the "arrival" needs to be coordinated.
