    I'm trying to get remote notification that an FTP transfer in FileZilla has completed.

    FileZilla has an option to run an executable or .bat file when the transfer is complete.

    What can I run, so that I can check online from a remote computer that the file transfer is finished?

    If you can install a simple mailserver on the same machine (eg something like hmailserver, though I haven't used it so can't say for definite) you could write a script to launch the mailserver, send an email to a webmail account, then close the mailserver.

    i was thinking the same thing, like setting up a scheduled task in windows to send a mail from outlook, then shut down the PC.

    a much easier solution would be to simply RDP into the PC and check for yourself at regular intervals?

    you can use blat to send email from command line


    done.bat
    blat -t message.txt fred@fred.com
    shutdown (or what every you want to do next)

    Thanks,

    The machine I'm trying to send the notification from is at work, behind a firewall, so I can't install a mail server. Blat is giving me some problems (I think I have to use stunnel to use it with gmail smtp?)

    I'm gonna try to use the Microsoft command-line FTP client to upload a 'finished' file to the FTP server.
