Use a Folder Monitor rule to trigger when files are added to a folder using the network file system. When monitoring folders for files added to the server via the FTP/S and HTTP/S protocols, use File Uploaded, File Downloaded, and other File System events.

When monitoring a folder, EFT Server watches for any file being added to, removed from, or renamed in the monitored folder. Moving a file, performing PGP operations, and other actions can trigger the Rule again, resulting in failures. This can be avoided by selecting the Stop processing this rule check box after if action failed then. |
To configure a Folder Monitor rule
Follow the procedures in Creating Event Rules.
In the Create New Rule
dialog box, click Folder Monitor,
then click OK. The new Rule appears
in the Rule pane.
In the Rule
pane, click [select]. The
Monitor Folder dialog box appears.
Click the open icon 
to specify a folder to monitor.
If you also want to monitor sub folders, select the Include sub-folders check box.
To monitor the status of the network connection and
report failures, select the Check health
of network share every <n> minutes check box, and specify
an interval. An hour (60 minutes) is specified by default. When you select
the check box, the following message appears:

EFT Server periodically pings the folder specified to verify that it can communicate with the folder. When there is a loss of connection, EFT Server attempts to re-establish a link to the folder and triggers the Folder Monitor Failed event internally. If you want to receive e-mail failure notifications (or other actions) when the Folder Monitor health check returns a connection failure, follow the procedure in step 2 above to configure a Folder Monitor Failure event, and add an Action. |
Click OK.
Specify an Action to occur when this Event is triggered:
To add an e-mail notification, refer to E-mail Notification Action.
To copy or move a file added to the monitored folder to another location, refer to Copy/Move File to Host Action.
Click Apply to save the changes on EFT Server.
