The answer is probably no. At least not out of the box. It's not really all that common, at least not any more: most "mission critical" apps are maintained on reasonably high speed connections. In most cases if you're working on an application where a customer just absolutely can't get a 505 error, ever. The comapany pays for a cable or T1--or at least DSL--connection. And usually, if it's that important, especially if you're using renaming to aviod connection problems, you don't want the process to be automated. You want to do it by hand to make sure it works, and you want to verify the checksums on both the download and the upload, just to be sure you've got everything. So no, this probably isn't as common as it seems, although it was certainly more common 5 years ago. That said, interarchy is extremely AppleScriptable. You should be able to whip up something fairly quickly. If you poke around the Interarchy users group (it's linked from the website) there may even be something out there already. Anothe option would be to set up a cron job on the server to periodically rename files with a certain extension.
