Hi Alberto,
Just as another note: the folks here have no idea who you mean by Matt.
I do know that you mean Matt from [EMAIL PROTECTED], but the folks on
Tutor now have no clue what we're talking about. *grin*
That's sorta why it's not such a good idea to crosspost to both lists,
because now we have a conversation where not everyone can see each other.
I'll put Matt in CC, but let's try to avoid this situation next time.

I believe that cron has a resolution of a minute, so now it doesn't sound
that cron is so viable. But how about writing a program that just
continues to run as a "daemon" service in the background? A simple
example is something like:
######
import time
while True:
## do something
time.sleep(delay)
######
This isn't a true daemon, since it's not detached from the terminal. But
the Python Cookbook mentions something a little more polished here:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/278731
and this should be a basis for writing a ftp-polling daemon.
Best of wishes to you!
