I just move my videos captured by motion to another drive on my local
network and then use a simple python script that acts as a web server to
serve them up to me from a remote location, usually my office at work. My
video moves are all successful so I don't worry about checking to see if
the transfer was successful. Perhaps I should but I don't.
You're going to need to use a program that gives you some kind of return
code you can use to check to see if your transfer was successful.
I have a passing knowledge of "curl". I suggest you look into it. It's
amazing what that program can do.
Pay attention to the "-f" flag. On failure, that flag is supposed to
return a "22" error code instead of an error page. You could check for
that code in your script and, failing to see it, delete the file from your
local rpi.
Hope this helps.

You don't need to snapshot every 5 seconds if you use curl command. Just
send command and sleep for 5 secs, if the snapshot is not ready
