Watcher FTP Connection

[asteeper]

Just doing a little testing to see if yummy ftp watcher is going to work for our application before purchasing.

I have a watcher set to a shared dropbox directory which I'd like to watch for changes (new or updated files). Files are then upload to my server. Everything seems to be working fine I have the watcher re-scan interval set to 1 minute.

However I've noticed that the watcher is constantly (ever 1 min) connecting and discounting to my server. Is it possible to set the watcher to only connect to the server if a change has been detected in my local directory and a file needs to be uploaded?

May have figured this out...

So I guess watcher are constantly watching for changes and only connect when a change is detected. Well the watcher runs and connects every time its triggered by the auto re-scan interval.

Is this correct?

That's how it works : a connection is made regardless... Sorry about that. I'll see if I can address this in a future update, but for now there's no other way.
