Hi Christian,
You could expand the script to use the new filename as a var and prior to tftp
use ssh remote command to touch the file.
For the record, if this was not mentioned in the thread, IIRC tftp does not
create a file, only overwrite an existing one.
try adding above the tftp in the script, something like:
cd <file_location>
/bin/ls -1 * > /tmp/FILE_NAME.txt
while read CP_FILE
do
/usr/bin/ssh user@remoteserver "/pathto/<yourscript> $CP_FILE"
done < /tmp/FILE_NAME.txt
#...your existing script continues
(may require some tweaking)
This of course would need to use key based authentication in order to run as a
cron job. I have some info on this at:

Hope that helps.
