GET only files which are complete

Hi,
I found WinSCP a really great tool for automated download files from FTP.
But I have problem:

Automated script runs every 15 minutes,
then it GET -delete *.*
and exits

Plain and simple. It downloads all newly uploaded files from FTP to my local computer.
PROBLEM?
If a file on FTP is just in the middle of upload process (some user is just uploading, but not yet finished), I get only part of file, truncated, not usable.

QUESTION:
Is there some idea how could I do either:
- download only files, older than 10 minutes
- or prevent GET command to execute if file is in the middle of some other upload process?

Thankyo!

Re: GET only files which are complete

Excellent! Thank you very much!

So if I understand correctly, I will be able to do something like this:
GET -delete -minage=10 *.*
So GET will process only files, which minimum age is 10 minutes.
Awaiting new version...

And your response time is also excellent, great job, which makes my eyes to search for "Donate" button :)

Actually not, it supports absolute time only now. But I'll add relative time too. It makes sense.
