Hello everyone , I am looking for a better solution then the one I have created for the my Task

The task is:
Create an automated script that will check for Uploads in a specified Directory and move them to another specified Directory if the files are completely uploaded.

Files are FTP'd to the Specified directory
Multiple FTPS could be running so knowing if a particular FTP is complete is difficult for me to check by Process ID


I created the script listed below , but can see that issues can arise with Uploads of Trees
for instance
If the Upload directory has the following:

# ls -ltR UPLOAD_DIR/
UPLOAD_DIR/:
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Apr 26 21:32 Directory1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 26 21:31 file1.txt

UPLOAD_DIR/Directory1:
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 26 21:33 SubDir2
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 26 21:32 SubDir1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 26 21:32 dir1file1.txt

UPLOAD_DIR/Directory1/SubDir2:
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 26 21:33 subdir2file2.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 26 21:33 subdir2file1.txt

UPLOAD_DIR/Directory1/SubDir1:
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 26 21:32 subdir1file2.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 26 21:32 subdir1file1.txt
I am not sure , but if the last changed date of the stat command on a directory is older then the Age I am looking for
then shouldn;t that mean
that any file and sub directories below that Directory will be completely uploaded and also older then the Age I am looking for ?
...... I hope that made sense....
I do not think that is the case though....

I am hoping there is a better way to deal with this issue.

Thanks for being there.

Code:
#!/bin/bash

# This script will be used to monitor uploads to a specified directory
# and move them to another directory for downloading.
#
# Things to consider:
#       1. Was the uploaded files uploaded in a sub directory.
#       2. Are the files being uploaded complete.
#       3. Move the files to the specified directory
#          with the proper permissions.
