I need to monitor a folder in another LAN computer. When a new file or folder is dropped in this monitored "folder" the client computer is notified.

 

Is it possible to do this using LISP ?

Ask IT engineer for that. Its easy easy to do through them

I agree with Asos, that it would be very easy to do for IT.

 

However, to answer the question in the OP... Yes, this can be done with LISP.

 

Look into storing the result(s) of vl-directory-files (to a text file, perhaps?) and compare that stored 'index' to the current properties of said folder. From there you'd need to code a sub-function which can provide you additional information about the owner of the newly added files (Scripting.FileSystemObject comes to mind). I am unsure of the impact for files that may be deleted. Experimentation would be necessary.

 

Hope this helps!
