Need help in regards to FTP

I have a FTP polling program which runs every 10 mins & grabs file from FTP server if found. What happens is during the upload of the file to the FTP server by other user, the polling programs kicks in and grabs the incomplete file. How can this be prevented ? How can we make sure first that the FTP upload is done and the grab the file by the polling program.

i don't know if this is possible, but i would have some sort of batch file/script to be running on the FTP server. The process would therefore be to have the user upload a file (a completely different file name to the one that the polling program grabs). The server then deletes the polling file, and renames the uploaded file to the polling file.
