Checking if a file has copied completly

I'm unaware of any specific command to do what you want, but what you
may try is to have your app check the size of the file over a duration
of time, like 5 or 10 seconds, to see if it's file size changes.  If it
does change, then the file is still being copied.  If it doesn't, then
it should be done.

Granted, this doesn't account for network lag time, but it should do the
trick.
