CentOS - Nov 2007 - how to know when files have finished ftping? --antairrestored

Just to chime in here, what I use is another file that is transferred
last. It can be zero sized. Just some name you look for and then delete
when you are done for next time. It doesn't matter how long that one
takes because you will know that the important files are already
transferred.
