Not sure if you have control over the ftp that's coming in, but if you
could get the source to upload a .txt file at the same time containing
the total size of the file, you could read that text file and compare
the size in it to the uploaded file.  You could also have them put the
date in the text file so you can check that to be sure that it's an
updated text file.  I'd say you could just have a blank text file
uploaded when the ftp is finished, and then if you find that text file,
delete it and know to start using the file that was FTPed.  The only
downside with that is if they upload the text file first and then you're
back into the same problem.  I'd say most of it depends on your control
of the FTP process.  If you find a better solution, I'd love to know.

Could you have CF pro grammatically copy the file to somewhere else?
Seems like CF would be unable to if the file was being used. Or have it
rename the file. Same thing.

(Just a random guess)
