Overview

MFT Server includes support for monitoring local directories for files added, files deleted or files changed. Using a directory monitor you can capture these events and respond to them using a trigger. Generally you should use a directory monitor only when the directory is not managed using a service like FTP/S, SFTP or HTTP/S. If the directory is managed using a MFT Server service then you can capture these events more effectively using File Upload, File Renamed and File Deleted event types without using a directory monitor. Directory monitors are configured in the desired domain by selecting AUTOMATION > Directory Monitors.
