ftpwatch

FTPWATCH(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       FTPWATCH(8)

NAME

       ftpwatch - Notifies you of changes on remote ftp servers

SYNOPSIS

       ftpwatch

DESCRIPTION

       ftpwatch is a program intended to be run as a cron job. Every user who wants to use it should install it into his crontab file. That is add
       something like:

	   47 5    * * 7 /usr/bin/ftpwatch

       The user should then create a .ftpwatchrc file. If one is found the specifed files and directories in that file	will  be  dired,  and  the
       result  is  stored as separate files in a .ftpwatch directory i the home directory.  diff(1) is invoked to find any changes since last run.
       If any are found, the output of diff is mailed to the user.

OPTIONS

       -d<opt> passes the options in <opt> to diff when invoked to generate the change-repport sent to the user.

       -p run ftp in passive mode

CONFIGURATION FILES

       Each user can place a .ftpwatchrc file in there home directories, listing the files or directories they are intrested  in.  The	format	is
       simpel. Each line of the file is of the following type:

	   <Host>:<File>

       Where  <Host> is the hostname of the ftp server and <File> is the file or directory to watch. If you instead want to watch an entire direc-
       tory structure recoursly you can add an R to the config line of the dir whoes subdirs you are intresed in, like this:

	   <Host>:R:<File>
