We have a situation where a script collects files uploaded via FTP.
However, we have noticed that when the upload is slow, the script may
consider the file upload complete and move the file. We believe the
problem to be related to file locking

This is running on a Solaris box using standard Solaris FTP.

We are currently testing a commercial FTP product as a potential solution
to this. However, we would appreciate any suggestions if you have
alternate solutions to propose.

Thanks in advance.
