Wait for file stage

[mydsworld]

I have a dbout regarding the 'Wait for file' activity stage in DS.Suppose I am getting a remote file through FTP. Now, think of a situation where the file hasn't come in full and 'Wait for file' detects the presence of a file and fires a subsequent job. So, does 'Wait for file' waits for the receipt of the file in full?
If not, then what could be the better solution in this case.

if the file is coming through FTP then send a another file(may be with same name with some other extension) of zero byte just after the ftp complete as flag of FTP completion. and in the file stage detect for this file presence.

No, it simply checks for existence.

As noted, the typical solution is the use of a zero byte 'flag' or 'semaphore' file sent after the main file. When it is received, you know it is safe to go get the main file.
