A word of caution on this approach  [taken from my memory of this
conversation earlier on this chat list]   the key word to consider here is CREATED --
that's right, your PC-side  application may begin processing shortly after the
file transmission STARTS,  not anywhere close to when it ENDS.  This is because
the file will be  "visible" to other processes immediately upon opening rather
than after it  closes.

There is an easy fix to this problem as well...

You dont transfer the actual ('created') file, but you transfer it to X  file
first
and once the file is transferred, than you rename from X to 'created'  file
This will assure that the process will start only after the file is
transferred and completed...
