Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How to deal with incomplete image files Post 302535035 by Shell_Life on Wednesday 29th of June 2011 12:00:28 PM

You have several options to solve your issue.

Here is one suggestion:

1) Change your FTP script as follows:
1.a) Before it starts to copy the images, it deletes a flag file (example: All_Done.txt) if it exists.
1.b) Copy all files to your directory.
1.c) The last step is to create the flag file in the same directory.

2) Write a script/program as follows:
2.a) If it sees the flag file in the directory:
2.a.I) Rename all FTP files to append a suffix to it (example: "cam0_view.jpg", "cam1_view.jpg").
2.a.II) Delete the flag file.

3) Change your html script to display the images from the "XXXX_view.jpg".

The only issue is the split milisecond that will take to rename the files to "view"
where the FTP could be trying to send the new files, otherwise, the above
is a safe procedure.

Hope it helps.
