Features

File Watcher watches a folder or set of folders for new or updated files. When it finds one, it passes the filename to a script that you designate - to perform whatever action you desire.

Benefits

File Watcher continuously monitors a set of folders for any new files. When new files arrive, File Watcher then triggers a custom action, such as running a program with the new files. This can be used to:

  • Process incoming FTP files

  • Automatically distil PDF files
  • Process email attachments when they are saved to disk
  • Load new files into a database
  • Quickly and easily trigger business processes when files are created
  • and much more.

 Features

  • Optionally include subfolders
  • Minimal system overhead when watching
  • Waits for the file to be fully written before processing it.- perfect for large files
  • If a file is created and subsequently renamed, File Watcher detects this and updates its list of files to process accordingly
  • The log discards the oldest entries when it reaches 1000 lines.
  • Supports Drag and Drop of folders into File Watcher.
  • Can be run as a service
