My requirement is
After the flat file was generated to the location, i need to write some trigger file or something to inform them that the file was delivered to them.

Please let me know how i can do this.

Thank you!

Hi,

Once the FTP is done (or) file is placed fully over there, just create a "done_with_timestamp" file in another location to indicate it..

Other option is , transfer the file ".ftp" extension and once it's fully done , verify the file size with local file size and then "mv" it.
