tommyf Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 Hi I can use filesystemwatcher on a local directory and I know I can use it on a remote directory but I am unable to find out how to do this. I basicaly want to be able to watch an FTP sight for file uplaods. Quote
Liqdfire Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 It will work only if the file system is on a windows 200 or XP machine. You should map the drive then use your local mapping for the watcher or tru using the UNC \\<servername>\<sharename> Quote
tommyf Posted April 18, 2004 Author Posted April 18, 2004 Thanks for the reply Liqdfire This may sound like a silly question but I just cant figure it out. I have mapped the drive and it appears in my network neighbourhood but I cant seem to get it to see this drive Quote
Liqdfire Posted April 19, 2004 Posted April 19, 2004 Thanks for the reply Liqdfire This may sound like a silly question but I just cant figure it out. I have mapped the drive and it appears in my network neighbourhood but I cant seem to get it to see this drive When you map a drive you auctuall assign it a local drive letter for access. instead of looking in Network Neighborhoos try looking in My Computer. If infact the drive is mapped then there will be a drive letter there for that drive. Then you would use the file system watcher just like it was a local drive. You just watch the local drive letter. If your still don't see it catch me on pm and if your using windows XP we can setup a remote help request and I will auctually show you what I am talking about. :) Quote
tommyf Posted April 20, 2004 Author Posted April 20, 2004 Thanks Liqdfire I am using win2K and as far as I am aware I can't give a remote FTP site a drive letter. Quote

You are correct you cannot accomplish this through FTP you would need access to the machine. You do not physically need to be able to touch the machine but you will need to be able to map a network drive. Is the machine local or in a data center somewhere, do you have an admin login into the machine ? Quote
tommyf Posted April 22, 2004 Author Posted April 22, 2004 Hi The Machine is in a data center and I do have a admin login. Thanks for all your help on this matter. Quote
