The FileSize command allows the user to check the size of a file if the file is less than 2,147,483,647 bytes. If the file size is larger than 2,147,483,647 bytes, than the FileSize command returns a -2. If a -1 is returned, the file does not exist. If a 0 is returned, the file has zero bytes.
You can use this command to determine when a file has been completely transferred to another server. To determine when a file (less than 2,147,483,647 bytes) has completed transferred, use these steps to write a script:
Store the return value in a Count variable such as Count-1.
Wait a period of time.
Check the file size again.
Store that returned value in another Count variable such as Count-2.
Compare Count-1 and Count-2.
If Count-1 does not equal Count-2 then the file is still in the process of being transferred. If Count-1 does equal Count-2 then the file has finished being transferred.
