We’re using Gateway to receive files over sftp and then to place them onto a server for processing.

I’m after the best way to to ‘flag’ to the processing application on the server that the sftp transfer is complete. It has been suggested to poll the file until it stops growing - but this seems unreliable.

A better suggestion is to use sftp to place the file in a temporary directory on the server and then use the gateway to move to the completed file to the processing directory. But would this be possible with the Gateway ? (sorry if this seems a dumb question).

Are there any better ways (using sftp)?

Thanks in advance
