Watching for file changes on complete file transfer

Question

I have a simple node script that looks for a file changes and copies file to the remote server using ssh.

fs.watch(filename,function(curr,prev){

//copy file to the remote server

});

However, since the file i'm watching is uploaded via ftp and for every chunk of data i recieve the file gets changed and the callback gets fired. Is there any way to look for changes only when the complete file has been transfered?

Thanks in advance.

I know this is an old question but for anyone else in the same situation there is now the below module:
