I have to automate some FTP functions. &nbsp;We have files dropped off on our FTP server at different times and we need them automatically encrypted and/or FTP'd to another server.<br />
I can do the enctyption via pgp command line and also the ftp via .bat files but the search/polling function is out of my relm.<br />
<br />
Is there any way to create a vbscript or .bat file that will search or &quot;poll&quot; a folder every 10 or so minutes for new files that has been placed in it, then encrypt and upload it to an ftp server?<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Poll or search a folder for new files
