Assuming you're using wuftpd:
You may have to allow incoming, but perhaps you don't have to allow
downloads of /incoming. Think about it. :-)
Alternatively, wuftpd has a very nice notification feature that will mail
you when something is submitted. Some of us do have good reasons for
allowing both-way incoming access. Make sure your /incoming directory is
unreadable in any case...

This has the advantage of being almost instantaneous.
After an @Home wanker decided to fill a few gigabytes on snarchive,
creating a denial-of-service to the legitimate users, I turned this
on. Now when somebody tries to use me for their warez, I accidentally
corrupt a bunch of bytes in their files.
So far, they seem to have gotten the message, because I've only seen
one unauthorized file attempted upload this week. >:->
