I wrote this a few years back:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/255433/Checksum-Verification
I can give you the .exe file and then you fill in a configuation file and
save it in the same place where you put the .exe. That will email you
changes to files, as well as new files added to the folder and subfolders.
Typically you use Task Scheduler (Windows) to run it on a schedule. But
there is no getting around the fact that basic tech work is required. In
this case, setting up a SQL server or MySQL database, as well as a user
with access to the db.
Let me know if you are interested.
This is what the config file looks like:
C:\MyFolder\Checksum\TestRoot
f...@foo.org
C:\MyFolder\Checksum\ChecksumResults.log
C:\MyFolder\Checksum\ChecksumErrors.log
f...@foo.org
C:\MyFolder\Checksum\NewFiles.csv
C:\MyFolder\Checksum\ChangedFiles.csv
