Auto New File Copying

I have a question regarding applescript, I’ve done programming before but unfortunately never applescript, and it’s possible someone has already done something similar.

Basically what I want is an extension of the in-built script that provides an alert when a new item is added to a folder. The script needs to notice the new file, then copy it across to another drive/folder. I know it shouldn’t be too hard and probably already exists but I have no idea how to program scripts.

Hi,

take a look at this Apple tutorial
