Topic awaiting preservation: php & send email upon ftp upload

I have a BUNCH of people that send us files via FTP, so they all have their own folders. Does anyone know of a good way with PHP or something else that can monitor certian folders and when something is uploaded send an email to me a two other people when something is uploaded with the username and filesize?


Thanks in advance!

hmm im not sure this can be done with php a monitoring software on the server might do this better

yeah....must be why I haven't gotten it to work. LOL

Do you know of a Linux software that might be good? I'll do a search in the meantime.

Thanks!

oh, and I did see in the man pages for ftpaccess(5) that you can set it for Anonymous log in but I need it to send the email with username and stuff

hm... apart from scanning the folder every so often (every couple of minutes probably is enough), comparing that to an earlier scan and mailing the differences... nothing comes to mind.

Now, that'd be rather trivial to do via php and a cron job.

Yeh was going to say that, cron job & php will do that easy.. Makes life a bit harder without cron jobs (windows server) tho

couldn't you have a sort of login script that does the job when someone actualy logges on via ftp???
