Monitor FTP sites with WatchFTP

WatchFTP Help

WatchFTP watches your FTP server and downloads new and changed files to a specified Windows folder.

You configure WatchFTP by setting up "Tasks". Each Task synchronizes an FTP directory with a Windows folder. A Task can also send emails listing new files and further process the files using batch scripts.

The screenshot shows the WatchFTP Control Center, which is used to configure your WatchFTP Tasks. Two Tasks are listed. One, "wd1", is running and the other is "stopped".

To create a new Task

• Click the new Task button
  The Task Settings window opens.

To edit a Task

• Double-click the Task
  The Task Settings window opens.

To start a Task

• Select the Task and press the "play" button
  The Task starts watching the FTP directory and responding as configured.

To stop a Task

• Select the Task and press the "stop" button
  The Task stops all activity.

These actions are also available from the File menu and the Mouse context menu.
