I am looking for software that will monitor a specific folder and when a file is created in it send that file off via ftp to a client associated with that folder by the software.

I have tried software such as smart FTP and cute FTP and they don't seem to monitor folders very consistently. Some of the options with them were to write scripts to delete duplicated files from the transfer queue. I really don't want to have to write scripts for software I purchase. I am not opposed to needing scripting or writing it but I feel I shouldn't have to write scripting to make there software properly do some thing it says it does out of the box.

I am currently trying to do this on a Windows XP box though running on a Server 2003 is an option if it would make things easier.

I really just want pointed in the correct direction this is all fairly foreign to me
