Huagen Just to clarify. There isn’t really an SFTP server. SFTP is just an FTP layer over SSH - allowing you to get FTP-like experience when accessing file system over SSH. Now, tis your question. I am assuming you are implying that some other system is uploading a large file. In any event a typical and well established pattern for upload/download is to use temporary name until upload/download has finished and then rename. This way the consuming system doesn’t see “work-in-progress” until it is finished. In other words the consuming system will never see that file until its fully uploaded.
Hope this helps.
