Hi,

You'll need to specify a little more information about how the file is being transmitted? email, ftp, CIFS, NFS...

regards,

Darren.

Checkout the fuser command. If a file is being accessed, there is a process connected to it. Doing a fuser on the file will report the process ID of the commands accessing the file. You might check with ps -p if the process is relevant.

If you want to do it the other way around (check which files are in use by a process) you will need something like lsof. lsof is available from HP download centre.
