How to check the file locked or in use at FTP?
Hi Experts,

I am beginner to shell scripting, I have a archive script which will connect to the FTP server and archive the files from FTP source location to FTP archive location.

Now the problem here is, the script working for few files and not working for few.I am facing the below error (Files are in use or locked).My question is how to check whether the files are in USE or LOCKED? and if they are locked or in use, how to remove

Code:
HOST='xxxx'
USER='xxxx'
PASSWD='xxxx'
PORTNO='9999'

FILE_NAME=$1
FTP_SRC_PATH=$2
FTP_ARC_PATH=$3
CURR_PATH=`pwd`
#CURR_PATH='/Product/Asset/Source'

ftp -n $HOST $PORTNO <<ENDfilelst
cd $FTP_SRC_PATH
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
bin
prompt
lcd $CURR_PATH
cd $FTP_SRC_PATH
ls $FILE_NAME archivefilelist.txt
quit
ENDfilelst
cat archivefilelist.txt
cat archivefilelist.txt | rev | cut -d' ' -f1 | rev > tempfile
mv tempfile archivefilelist.txt

while read line
do
ftp -n $HOST $PORTNO <<ENDfilelst
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
bin
prompt
lcd $CURR_PATH
rename $FTP_SRC_PATH/$line $FTP_ARC_PATH/$line
quit
ENDfilelst
done < archivefilelist.txt


Error Line:
Code:
+ mv tempfile archivefilelist.txt
+ read line
+ ftp -n wmx-mft-test.xxxx.com 8121
Interactive mode off.
Local directory now /var/local/ei/etl/Scripts
File rename error. (bad path?  in use?  locked?)
+ read line
+ rm archivefilelist.txt

bf_tar

BF_TAR(1)																 BF_TAR(1)

NAME

       bf_tar - shell script to write a tar file of a bogofilter directory to stdout

SYNOPSIS

       bf_tar [-r] [-R] bogofilter_directory

DESCRIPTION

       bf_tar bundles a bogofilter working directory in tar format and copies it to standard output (your console, or where you redirect it, see
       EXAMPLES below).

OPTIONS

       The -r option causes bf_tar to remove inactive log files after the archive has been written successfully. The default is to leave log
       files.

       The -R option causes bf_tar to remove inactive log files before the archive is written. This may reduce chances that the resulting archive
       is recoverable should it become damaged. The archive may be smaller though. The default is to leave log files.

EXIT STATUS

       The script exits with status code 0 if everything went well, and nonzero if it encountered trouble.

EXAMPLES

       o  bf_tar ~/.bogofilter > outfile.tar

	  Writes a standard .tar file containing the essential files from ~/.bogofilter to outfile.tar.

       o  bf_tar ~/.bogofilter | gzip -9 -c > outfile.tar.gz

	  Writes a gzipped .tar.gz file containing the essential files from ~/.bogofilter to outfile.tar.gz.

       o  bf_tar `pwd`/mydirectory > outfile.tar

	  Prepend $(pwd)/ or `pwd`/ if you want to specify an absolute path instead of a relative path.

NOTES

       This script is meant for use with Berkeley DB based bogofilter versions.

       This script requires a SUSv2 compliant pax utility.

       This script expects a SUSv2 compliant shell. Solaris systems should have the SUNWxcu4 package installed (when bogofilter is configured) so
       that /usr/xpg4/bin/sh can be used.
