Thanks everybody for help.
I already set the config with crond launching mirroring process (moving 
files with last modified date > 2 min).
It 's running rather smooth from last night and I am generally happy 
with results.
Any approach potentially involving customer intervention was
not acceptable. This service need to be running
27/7 without any additional effort from the customer's side.
I personally would be interesting in cracking parsing ftp log files, but
simply don't have time to do it right now.
Thanks again everybody,
Denis.
