How to find out if the FTP file is finished loading in unix.

I am getting a file from different box. After I have received the file in full I want to move it to a different directory. How can I find out if ftp has finshed loading it to my box

One of the things we always recommend our customers is to FTP the large files with a temporary name and then rename upon completion.

Use checksums with files, look at md5.
