You don't have to make the user wait for confirmation.
What you could do if you wanted to be sure to tell the user if the
connection failed or not, is to have him give his email addy for
confirmation. When the file move is done, make a call to mail().
Once you've gotten the file from the user, display a confirmation that the
file was recieved and will now be perminately stored.
Stick your file move code, ftp or whatever, into a function. Then use
http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.register-shutdown-function.php to call
the function.
If the function does it's job properly, have it mail the user with success.
Otherwise you probably want to have it send the error to yourself, or email
the user that the file didn't work.
Only do this all once you are reasonably certain that there are no bugs in
the code. Otherwise if there is an error, you'll never know it!
