brunlea,
You don't mention how or when the file is processed on the receiving server. Does the file get processed as soon as it is transferred (i.e. via some file watcher) or does a script run at a certain time to process it? I have used Cyberfusion and Connect Direct to transfer files and they reliably tell you when there is a transfer failure or file is incomplete. Don't have much experience with scp/ssh capturing all errors (I'm sure someone else can weigh in on this), however, something you could do is compare chksum's but this would need to run after file has been transferred (again, that depends on my question on how/when it's processed).
Yet another option is to put a trailer record at the end of the file you are transferring that contains the total number of records on the file. Then the script on the destination server could validate that the total number of records on the file matches the total on the trailer record before processing it.
