Yes offcourse! <br />
And I was thinking of creating a new cmd-let &nbsp;or function that would use system.io in .Net and lock the file until verified on the other side. Glad I don't have to :)

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am using the cmd'lets Copy-Item and Move-Item to move or copy files from one location to another. I then use Test-Path &nbsp;to verify that the file has arrived. But sometimes there is another system on the receiving end that moves the files to yet another location before the Test-Path cmd-lets gets time to verify.<br />
<br />
Is there any way to lock the file until Test-Path has done it's job? Or in any way ensure that the any other system does not move the files before Test-Path has run?
