Folder Action that logs user; file name; time moved

Hello,

not a scripter but need help explaining to a scripter what we need…

When a file is added to a folder on a server is it possible, with a folder action, to get this info added to a running log?

the name of the file
the user that moved the file
the time that the file was moved.

i would like to see the info like this in a single log file:

p 01.indd, joeblow, 041108 at 11:45 am
p 54.indd, jsmith, 041108 at 12:00 pm

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Dan

Yes that is easily doable and giving that exact information to the scripter should be sufficient.

How do you get the information about the user? :wink:

Depending on the file server configuration you should be able to check owner of the file. At least this works over afp to a server you authenticate to rather then connect to as guest. I suppose if you had inhertiance configured on the file server though it could cause problems, but I manage permissons by group not by owner.

got it. Thanks
