How do I know the file is arrived?

I hope you guys can help me .
My requirement is as below:

Some data files will be ftped by other machine to my machine to the path /home/input
As soon as the file is ftped I need to zip it and move the file to /home/zipped path.

I can use the below command to zip
zip data.zip data.txt

but how do I find out that file is arrived to /home/input location

The file can arrive any time, so how do I keep watching for it all the day? Is there any command?

Thank you very much.
