Just to chime in here, what I use is another file that is transferred last. It can be zero sized. Just some name you look for and then delete when you are done for next time. It doesn't matter how long that one takes because you will know that the important files are already transferred.

Here's a thought: what about doing an lsof? If a file is still being written by ftpd it should be open for writing.
