ftp
Hello!
My FTP client (apache commons ftpclient) needs to download file from FTP.
The problem is that an external service may not have finished writing to this file before I start downloading.
Is there any way to determine via FTP whether the file is already closed (i.e. there is no writing handlers opened)?
The problem is that I cannot synchronize with that external service. But I mustn't download file which is not finished yet (a large JPEG).
Thanks in advance!
