You can set up Pure-FTPd to run a program or script after every
successful upload <http://man-wiki.net/index.php/8:pure-uploadscript>. 
So upload to a ramdisk, then have your script process the file.  (But
this doesn't help if you need to know as soon as a file starts arriving,
and can't wait until it's all uploaded.)

If you use Pure-FTPd, be careful about allowing clients to resume failed
uploads.  Either disable that feature or ensure your script doesn't
interfere with it.
