Hello There,

Thanks In advance for the Help!!!

I have a situation that i have mounted Windows FTP account to the Linux Machine. with the help of curlftpFS.

and now i need to create a event driven Watch on the Mounted FTP Account(Windows FTP) on the linux Server.

I need to configure that if any files are transffered to Mounted windows Folder on the linux machine.it must be automatically copied to the other directory on the Linux machine.

and i am using Incrontab For this configuration but Incorntab doesnt seems to work.

I am using this coomand to watch the Mounted Directory.

/tmp/windows-FTP IN_CLOSE_WRITE /bin/cp -rf /tmp/Directory-on-linux

But incron doesnt copy the File to next directory!!!!

can someone have any idea please to resolve this issue.

incrontab makes use of the inotify kernel function to trigger on filesystem changes. The problem is probably that your virtual, FTP-based filesystem doesn't actually expose anything like inodes to the kernel.

inotify works fine with locally mounted filesystems (that is, file systems residing on a device represented by a device node), but once you use a network-based filesystem, all bets are off.

Hi

On the Mounted Drive space it works but when i upload the file at this time it doesnt trigger the INCRON dameon.

I have to Touch the file after files are Uploaded to the FTP Mounted Folder nd the Incorn works.

STEPs

/tmp/Mounted-FTP/Watch-folder/ IN_CLOSE_WRITE mv $@$# /tmp/out/

after Uploading the file to watch folder via FileZilla. it doesnt work but if i touch the file again then it triggers.

thanks
