This article (link) by Juval Lowy is all about one-way services, wcf call-back methods, etc. It should show you how to set your services up to handle what you're looking for.

One-way services make the call asynchronous - fire and forget. Setting up a call-back does what it sounds like - you can specify a service/method to be called back after a method executes.

Better yet, check out chapter 5 in Lowy's Programming WCF Services (link). It goes into MUCH greater detail than the article above.

I think the first link is enough to get started though.

You could to send an address to be called back when that file processing is done and it will notify the consumer server. Or to use a message queue on both ends.
