My two cents.
The application that creates the file should move it and signal that the
move is complete. On many projects, I've used ftp to move the file and
rsh to run the application that processes the file. This combination
ensures that the file is fully transferred before processing begins.
Failing that, I will monitor the 'modification date' on the transferred
file and wait some period after that date before processing the file.

Hmmm...
Not sure about best practices, but:
Based on your requirements, I would assume 'something' on the windows
side needs the file.
Therefore, I vote for making that something 'get' the file. That way
that 'something' could do appropriate error handling, etc.

What is "best" practice, to send file from DCS to Windows or have
Windows get the file?
Thanks,

I need to transfer a text file from a "B" box to a Windows box out the
second ethernet port once per day. Just looking for an easy FREE
solution.
