watchDirectoryFree

WatchDirectoryFree automatically starts your .bat or .cmd file when the directory contents that this program is monitoring changes (a file or directory is added, deleted or changed).

Some example uses for this program:
Automatically backup files that are created in a directory
Automatically FTP modified files from a directory to an FTP server/web-site
Automatically compile sources that arrive in a directory (AutoMake)
Synchronizing 2 directories

The bat or command file that is executed receives all information on what has changed on the command line and in environment-variables. Basically you can do anything you want with this information.

Several example bat-files to get you started are included in the online help. There are more examples available on our web site and forum.

Other highlights:
Efficiently monitors directories: watchDirectory receives a notification from Windows when the monitored folder changes.
Easy to start automatically at system start-up.
No nag-screens, no time limit.

You can register your copy of WatchDirectoryFree to remove some of the limitations. Registration of WatchDirectoryFree is... free.
