Clever methods checking timestamps can't tell the difference between a completed upload, a slow upload, a stalled upload, and a broken upload. It's the client application's job to tell you when the file is complete, your server-side one cannot psychically know without its help.

Often this is accomplished by having the application upload to one folder, then having the same application move it to another folder when complete -- as long as the folder is on the same partition, files will seem to 'appear' in it instantly and whole once a download completes, and never before.

NAME
smpppd-c.conf - configuration file for smpppd frontends DESCRIPTION
When frontends of smpppd like cinternet , qinternet or kinternet want to connect the smpppd they may read the file /etc/smpppd-c.conf. The configuration file /etc/smpppd-c.conf has a simple file format with a key = value pair in each line. OPTIONS
sites = <list of sites> Tell the frontends where to find the smpppd. Frontends will try to connect to the smpppd in the order defined here. Possible sites are: local Connect to locally running smpppd (via socket in the local namespace). gateway Connect to smpppd running on the gateway. config-file Connect to smpppd as specified in this file. slp Connect to smpppd as retrived from the slp daemon (service location protocol). server = <server> Specifies the host on which the smpppd is running. port = <port> Specifies the port number of the smpppd. password = <password> The password to use for authentication at the smpppd, UTF-8 encoded for those who really care.

kinternet, qinternet, cinternet(1), smpppd(8). AUTHOR
