Automated FTP Notification when file uploaded by user
 

Hello.

I am guessing this might be trivial, but the answer eludes me.

I want to have an email sent to our system admin when a file is uploaded from a user to our ftp site. We use VSFTPD on Red Hat ES3 LINUX. NO Anonymous users, and the FTP users do not have login permissions, just a bogus shell to allow only FTP access.

I really did not want to do a cron script to monitor the directories so I was hoping that an email could just be sent when a file is uploaded and I really did not want to try to parse out the various log files for this.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations for how to do this.

wow, no cron, no log. I want to know how to do that too !!
