Monitor a folder and upload new files via FTP

NFS export and mount? That was no need to copy.

With NFS4 and krb5p for end-to-end encryption and a Kerberos server - sorted.

I know it can probably be scripted, but it's how would you get the script to always be running which I'd struggle with.

If it is on windows, you could schedule the script to run every few minutes and upload any files found there, doesn't need to run continuously I would have thought.

If you can use rsync instead of ftp, check out lsyncd. Failing that inotify wait and ftp via a cron for example? Check out e.g. https://superuser.com/questions/3178...-files-one-way

This is on Linux right??

In the past I've seen clients use Globalscape EFT which is massively over kill, Ideally I'd like something that monitors a folder and if there is any new files uploads them to an FTP server, can't be that difficult to do right?
