Thanks for taking it into consideration, Bruce!
To give everyone an idea of what's possible with this API, here's the
waitdirchg help page:
Version 0.511, Copyright (C)2002 Frank P. Westlake
Waits until a folder has changed and notifies which file was changed.
WaitDirChg [options] "Folder name"
[options (case not sensitive)]
/F Print the full file path (default is a relative path).
/L Loop until CTRL-C or CTRL-BREAK.
/S Also watch subdirectories.
/T Print a date and time stamp in the first two columns.
/FILE_NAME Watches for changes to file names (add, del, ren)
(default).
/DIR_NAME Watches for changes to directory names (md, rd, ren).
/ATTRIBUTES Watches for changes to file attributes.
/SIZE Watches for changes to file size.
/LAST_WRITE Watches for changes to file last write time.
/LAST_ACCESS Watches for changes to file last access time.
/CREATION Watches for changes to file creation time.
/SECURITY Watches for changes to file security-descriptor.
/ANY Watches for any changes in the folder.
The program exits when the first change is detected and reports only
that
change, unless the /L switch is included. If the /L switch is included
the
program will return to watching the folder (some changes may be lost
between
cycles).
ERRORLEVELS AND MESSAGES:
0=[DATE TIME ]CHANGE_TYPE FILE 1=(Program error, message varies)
2=ERROR: CTRL-C 3=ERROR: CTRL-BREAK 4=ERROR: CONSOLE CLOSED
5=ERROR: LOGOFF 6=ERROR: SHUTDOWN

Del_File: The file was removed from the directory.
Mod_File: The file was modified (time stamp or attributes).
Old_Name: The file was renamed and this is the old name.
New_Name: The file was renamed and this is the new name.

For /F "tokens=1* delims=: " %%a in ('WaitDirChg/fs %FTP_IN% 2^>^&1')
Do (

Set File=%%b
)
If "%File:~0,5%"=="ERROR" Goto :EOF
If "%Type%"=="Watching" Goto :LOOP
