I need a software that monitors a specified ftp-server and when a new directory is created or a directory has had it contents changed, it should send me a notification e-mail. The only software I could find was: You Got Files! from Niwot Networks. Its basic configuration is limited to only two directories for a cool $95 dollars per 24 months. I haven't been able to get it to acknowledge that files has been changed in the subdirectories (even though the time-stamp reflects this).

Does anyone have a suggestion for a software that might suit my needs? It will run on a Windows 2003 server.
 
You could easily create something that creates a MD5 of files (recusively) and then when either 1) A new MD5 is found or 2) a different MD5 is found. Then send your report email.

A service in C# 2.0 is fairly simple, and would handily do what your asking.

 
specifically you can whip up a .NET app all centered around

Code: 
System.IO.FileSystemWatcher

hook it to a webservice and off you go.. or have the app auto notify you..
