If Wait until Satisfied is enabled: Period of time, in seconds, during which the file has not changed.
 
For a Remote File Monitor task, a file's stability depends on its size. If the file size displayed in the FTP/SFTP output does not change during the specified number of seconds, the file is considered stable. In order for the task to reliably monitor the file's stability, the task must display a file's size in a well-known location. This means that the file list returned in the output must be in Unix long-listing format, as follows:
 

Panel


Html bobswift
<pre> 
-rwxr-xr-x 1  owner group 12345 Jan 1 2016  somefile.txt
</pre>


 
The task will only find the size if it is in the 5th column (for example, 12345 in the example above).
 
The default file list format varies across different FTP client/server implementations, but most support additional commands that can force the output to the required format. The Additional FTP Commands field is provided to insert those statements into the FTP script that the file monitor task executes.
