Description

In case there is a consumer on the other end of the network share where the PutSMB processor writes the data, the file might be picked up by the consumer before the file is fully copied which might lead to errors on the consumer side.

 

To solve this problem we can introduce a "temporary suffix" which will be removed upon completing the copy.
