Just to tell what I was told to do and my doubts about that :
In this one opinion I should better (i'm talking about the client side) check if there is something new to download on the ftp server, then get the size of the file to download, wait a bit of time say 4-5 seconds and check the file size again, if it is the same it would mean that the file was completely uploaded and I can proceed to download it , on the contrary i should have to wait till its size does not change.... In my opinion the first solution is the better ( i mean to rename the file to its final name just after it is completely upload)
What do you think ?
