Abstract
A method for monitoring files including receiving a folder including at least one file path specifying a server machine and a directory. For one or more of the file paths in the folder, a query is transmitted to the server machine requesting current directory data corresponding to the directory. The current directory data includes a file name, a created date, a modified date and a file size for files included in the directory. Current directory data is received from the server machine in response to the query and the current directory data is stored in a monitoring database. The method also includes creating a monitoring report including the server machine, the directory and the current directory data for the one or more file paths. The monitoring report is transmitted to a user.
