Incomplete transfers of large files

Subject:Incomplete transfers of large files

My application automatically forwards files which appear in a given
remote folder to a server for backup purposes.  The problem I have is
that when a large file needs to be copied to the folder it can take a
while.  My program can detect the opening of the new file and start
transferring it before it is closed the result being that an incomplete
file is backed up.  What I need it so defer starting the FTP transfer
until the file has been closed.  I realise this isn't a bug or part of
the protocol was wondering if anyone has encountered and solved this
problem before.

TIA.
