To check wheather a file is downloaded completely or not
I will have two files (which were in .txt format) ftp'ed to a specified directory, from where my ksh picks up each file at a time and starts processing it. So i need to write a script which as soon as find a file should check wheather it is download completely or not. If it is still downloading then it should wait till the file downloads completely, once it is downloaded completely then it should go to next step. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you
