Not sure what you mean by huge, but our partners frequently upload 100+ MB files in various XML, IATA and EDI formats. We also use an FTP client locally to read the file back. We don't trust the file system state when it is being controlled by a server. I'm guessing that the FTP server does the job of not showing half-finished files, since I've never heard of a half-finished file being read back from an FTP server in 15 years. I may have to validate this assumption, though.
