Introduction

WatchDirectory is a program that monitors (watches) folders on Windows computers. When a change inside the monitored directory is detected, watchDirectory starts the task you have configured for this event. Tasks are performed by running a plugin. An example of a task would be copying the new file to another directory.

WatchDirectory has several plugins for common operations, such as email, FTP and ZIP. There is also a special plugin that can start a .bat file script giving you a 100% flexibility.

The picture below shows the main screen of the Control Center. There are three tasks configured, but only one of them is running indicated by the green arrow.
