I have a server that receives FTP files at random times throughout the day. I'm using VisualCron on that server to pick up the files and process them. One of my remote sites has a fairly slow connection. If the file is still being transmitted while VisualCron runs the processor I get an error and the job hangs. It usually picks it up the next time, but sometimes it throws the processor off-kilter and the file doesn't come in. Is there a way to have VisualCron sense that a file is present (and closed) before running a job? Should I have the file come in to another directory and then copy it to the process directory to minimize the issue? Any other ideas? Thanks,
Phillip
