iis ftp: Can anyone give me any ideas or feedback on how I might configure or
force IIS to do something like "atomic" uploads in IIS?

My main goal is to make sure that I can programatically scan the local
filesystem that is published as an ftp site via IIS and do actions on
the files that have been uploaded. My stumbling block is that IIS
creates and fills the file as it is uploaded, meaning I can causing
sharing or concurrency problems if I access the file.

Other FTP packages offer a feature which will store the in-progress
file in another location, and move it when it is completed.

Is there anyone out there who has worked around this problem,
configured IIS to work in this scenario, or cna offer a suggestion?

so concurrent access problem?
why not publish to diff ftp directory, then perform your action on the files
to diff directory?
