How can I tell if server ftp folder upload is finished?

G'day scripters

I've got an unusual scenario.

We've got a dozen server folders that clients upload files to. Might be one file, might be 30 at any one time.

I need to check the folders periodically and process the completed files, then empty the folder (that's easy) but how do I know when a particular folder has completed the entire upload?

The server is a darn PC so I can't use folder action scripts on it, but it would be nice to only trigger the monitoring script when any folder starts to fill. Mirror them to the Mac desktop perhaps, and have an Applescript on the mirroring folder? Just thinking.

What ftp client would anyone recommend to download from the folders. I'm trying Transmit atm but it is causing a problem when encountering empty folders.

Any thoughts welcome.

Regards

Santa
