Forums Scripts & Popups Notify channel of file creation

From your original message it would seem you want to notify the channel whenever any file is create anywhere on some root folder. This would be a serious trouble. But if you are only looking for a specific file name, simply use $isfile(c:\file.txt) to tell whether it exists. And there's no problem to repeat this process every X minutes: /timer 0 300 myCheckingAlias

When you call your batch file, you can redirect the output of ftp.exe to a text file which will be looking like this:

• ...
  ...
  ftp> put c:\local\file.ext
  200 PORT command successful
  150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for mirc.ini
  226 Transfer complete
  ftp: 8590 bytes sent in 1.10Seconds 7.81Kbytes/sec
  ftp> quit
  221 Goodbye

so that when /xrun finishes and the control returns to mIRC you can tell whether it has succeeded:

• if $read(c:\file.txt,wn,226*) { msg #chan Successfully updated files. }
  else msg #chan An error occured. Type !debug to get my FTP log
