LINUX: how to detect that ftp file upload is finished

Question

In my project I have a file uploading feature. Files are uploaded via FTP. I need to configure a listener that will check for new files and invoke a script only when file up

Answer 1

Have a look at inotify

It doesn't automatically watch sub directories though, so if you need to monitor many ftp accounts (or the FTP client wants to create a sub dir and upload there) you'll need to handle this yourself.
