Hi VPV0002,

We have two options:
1. Use the function below which will base on the file size:

Code:

#!/bin/ksh

numOfRetries=3
sleepTime=3

transfFileFinished ()
{
	valFilePath="${1}"
	if [ ! -f "${valFilePath}" ]
	then
		echo "ERROR: File does not exist: [${valFilePath}]. Exit 1."
		exit 1
	fi
	
	oldFileSize=`ls -l "${valFilePath}" | awk '{print $5}'`
	while true
	do
		if [ ${numOfRetries} -eq 0 ]
		then
			echo "File transfer ok. Max number of retries reached: [${numOfRetries}]"
			return 0
		fi
	
		currFileSize=`ls -l "${valFilePath}" | awk '{print $5}'`
		if [ ${oldFileSize} -eq ${currFileSize} ]
		then
			# If reaches here ${numOfRetries} times, so the file is ok
			numOfRetries=`expr ${numOfRetries} - 1`
		else
			echo "File size differ. Old File Size: [${oldFileSize}] - Curr File Size: [${currFileSize}]."
		fi
		
		echo "Old File Size: [${oldFileSize}] - Curr File Size: [${currFileSize}] - Retry: [${numOfRetries}] - Sleeping: [${sleepTime}]..."
		sleep ${sleepTime}
		oldFileSize=`ls -l "${valFilePath}" | awk '{print $5}'`
	done
}

transfFileFinished "./TestFile.txt"

2. From where you are sending the file, send the file with a ".tmp" in the end of the filename and after the transfer finished, use the FTP rename command and rename it to the original filename, so your ksh script will process it.

Hope it helps.

Regards.

       which are known for the disk, separated by `|' characters.  The last name given should be a long name fully identifying the disk.
