The software offers email notifications and other actions when a folder's content changes. It supports monitoring of both local and remote file systems, and allows for filter customization. Ideal for streamlining workflow and keeping track of updates.
I recently came across a software solution that provides a file system changes email notification service. This tool allows me to receive an email or log entry whenever there are changes made to a folder's content. The best part is that filters can be applied to either a local or remote file system, making it easy to monitor any changes made to your files or folders.
This software, which is completely free for home or educational use, offers an unlimited number of folders being watched. You can decide to keep a particular folder-only or entire subtree watch. You also have full control over which file or folder triggers the notification through the unlimited number of masks, wildcards or regular expressions.
Additionally, it provides filters to remove unwanted changes based on various conditions, and an unlimited number of notifications per folder. The software has built-in notification methods, such as a customizable log file or an email message with XSLT templates configurable per each notification. It also offers extensive SMTP support, including SSL, plain text, and integrated Windows authentication.
What I find extremely convenient is that each notification can be individually configured to filter out unnecessary changes. The tool also has complete built-in support for watching schedules, without any nag screens, time limits, adware, spyware, malware, activation, or validation.
Finally, configuration information is stored in industry-standard XML files with an XSD schema provided along with executable modules. Open interfaces allow a user to implement their own filters and notification methods by means of any Microsoft .NET 2.0 compatible development tool. I would definitely recommend this as an effective solution for those who need to keep track of changes made to file systems.
