run script on folder content change

by plight . Updated 20 years, 7 months ago

I know this might be a bit vague, but I’m not necessarily looking for a comprehensive answer here, more or less a point in the right direction. Is it possible to run a script (more specifically and send a custom email) based on the contents of a shared folder (windows domain, windows 2003 server and xp pro clients) changing? i.e. I add files to a folder which triggers a script which sends an email. More specifically, this is for ftp. I know there are clients etc that do this, but I can’t and won?t force our users to install and use an ftp client. I need the ease of use of internet explorer.

So the question is: Is there a 3rd party software to look at, or do I need to do this using windows components and scripting? If scripting, can anyone point me in a useful direction? Thanks a lot!
