We get asked this question very, very frequently.

Bottom line, it's the sending thing's job to tell you when it's done, because the receiver can't tell the difference between a finished upload, a stalled upload, or an aborted upload -- all three will have a file sitting there unchanged for long periods of time.

One of the best ways for the uploader to inform you of a completed upload is:
  • Upload the file to /path/to/temporary/file
  • In the same FTP session, rename /path/to/temporary/file /path/to/destination/file

As long as /path/to/temporary/ and /path/to/destination/ are on the same partition, this guarantees that files always appear in /path/to/destination/ whole, never partial files or in-progress uploads.
