Need a script for a windows server that does this:

When file xyz.txt arrives into directory C:/New/

a new folder is created in httpdocs/<domain name>/Folders/, named XYZ.

And a link is created in

httpdocs/<domain name>/Folders/XYZ/

The link looks like this:

a href="http://<domain name>/Folders/XYZ/xyz.txt

Then xyz.txt is moved to directory C:/Output/.

You can do this, but not with HTML. You will need a server side scripting language - Like PHP. I did something like this, but used coldfusion.

it depends which web server you use also in Linux is much more easy

What indicates the arrival of a new file?

Thanks for your replies.
What indicates the arrival of a new file?
That is something I also need help with.
A windows scheduler perhaps?

What I need is more like this:

1. Watch a folder.
2. When any file arrives, create a directory using the file name as the new directory name. Created at: Domain/Folders/filename/file
3. Create a file named download.html, with this in this file:
html
body
a href = http : // domain name/Folders/filename/file
body
html

4. Store download.html in Folders/filename
5. Copy file from Watched Folder to C:/Output
6. Delete file from Watched Folder

Can this be done with an executable and a scheduler?
If so, can someone help me with an executable, please?

thanks

This is a case where .net is pretty compelling. It would take you about ten lines of code in global.asax. A FileSystemWatcher class lets you point at a folder and subscribe to notifications that a file has been created in that folder, or any subfolder underneath it if you'd like. Create one at the application level, write a method to process a file, and iterate it over that folder on the application's startup event, since the watcher will only live as long as your app does.
