Connection alerts and notifications

The program's main function is monitoring current connections to shared resources. You can configure alerts and receive notifications when a specified user connects to your folders. Every new connection is checked whether it should cause an alert with the specified parameters.

For example, you expect your co-worker to write an important file to your shared resource. In this case, you need to configure an alert on his username. After doing this, the program will monitor all incoming connections waiting for your co-worker's connection. When the desired connection is established, the program will notify you by performing the following actions:

• Showing a screen message
• Sending an e-mail message
• Running an external application with the necessary parameters
• Playing a sound
• Writing to the log file
• Disconnecting and adding the user to the black list

This function also monitors connections to specified resources, folders, or files.

Monitoring of File Deletion and Creation

The standard system mechanism for monitoring access to shared resources cannot log file deletion and creation.

The application has a mechanism for monitoring the creation and removal of files in a specified folder. Unlike the connection monitoring mechanism, it cannot determine the user performed the operation. However, by analyzing the alert and connection logs, you can figure out which user connected to the folder at the time the file was removed. For identifying such users you can try to watch the connection log and see who was connected to your computer when the file was deleted/created. Please note that the program will log deletions performed by a local user too. So, this method of detecting the person who deleted the file is not 100% accurate.
