Automated FTP tool?

iis ftp: Hi,

I have a few video files that are continuously generated in a
directory that need to be uploaded by ftp. This directory will have
new files copied into it and old files deleted from it. The automated
ftp needs to monitor files *being* created and upload them ONCE the
creation is complete.

I am not sure how ftp will handle a file that is being created... i.e.
its file size is increasing...

Any idea which automated ftp tool I could use?

Thanks!

Well, the basic idea is to have a file or directory watcher that monitor the
file creation, then invoke ftp client to send the file. You can try google
for the monitoring part, ftp.exe or other client ftp tool support scripting
whereby you can script it to auto connect, navigate to certain folder and
upload/download, etc.
