I would like to know what happens when another application tries to access a file that is still being downloaded by the ftp1.get(source,ext,dest,false) method.

Does the ftp component write to the file exclusively until the file is completely downloaded or does it let other applications access the file while it is being downloaded.

Thanks
Amin

Hi Amin,
Yes, we prevent other apps from using the file during the transfer.
You should get an error in the app saying the file is being used by another process, and cannot be opened.
