Knowing if a file has finished xferring
There may well be much more elegant ways of doing this but I have done this in the dim and distant past by simply looking at the files over a period of time - say one minute - and if the mtime and size have not changed then you can be pretty well sure the transfer has finished.

Possibly a better way would be to identify the process doing the transfer (via its pid via ps) and if/when the process finishes assume the transfer is complete.

*yet* another way would be to get the sending server to transfer a zero length 'flag' file when the transfer has finished. when you see the existance of the flag file you know the transfer has finished.

so

on server2
start send of filename..................send ends (this may take a while)
send finename.flag (0 length - this will take a very short time)

on server1 ensure you remove the flag files as you process the transfered files

Hope this helps
