Hi Matthias,
Thanks for the input. We solved the problem by replacing the whole ftp-server to a server that supports file-locking. We went with Microsoft IIS ftp-server and now everything works ok.

Hi Daniel
Is it an option to make ACE listen on a different folder? Just move the files to that folder after the ftp transfer is complete.
That worked for us in the past.

Hi,
We are using the File Input node on ACE 12.0.10 to poll a Windows SMB share for files that are arriving via a FTP server. The File input node sometimes picks up incomplete files. Most of them are empty.
I have tried to make the sender of the files create them with a temp name and then rename after complete transfer; however the incomplete files originate from some older IOT-devices that can´t be changed to do this.
My next attempt was to try to use the new FileExists & FileIterator nodes and filter out all empty files. This does not work since the FileExists node throws an exception and blocks further processing if it reads the same file again.
Any idéas on what to try next? Can maybe the FileExists node have this behaviour turned off?
Best regards,
Daniel
