Procesing files received via ftp

[Sebastian Bello]

Hi list,

I need to process files received via ftp.
I see two approaches:

    1. poll the ftp directory
    How can I make sure a file download has finished?

    2. use a specialized ftp server which triggers file processing after receipt.
    I've been trying the Erlang ftpd implementation. File uploads seems not to work with a Windows client. And I'm not 100% sure they work fine with a Linux one. Has anybody used ftpd in a production environment?

Any hints?

Thanks,
    Sebastian-
