I want to to write a script in either Ruby or Python that will look at the contents of a directory and monitor for 

1. Any new files
2. Any saves to existing files.

I'm not bothered about what is different in the files - just that they have been saved or are new.

The script then returns the name of the file (with its full path) perhaps once every 2 seconds or something.

I want to scan files within folders to so 

mainfile.txt
images/image1.jpg
images/icons/icon1.png

All these files / folders need to be montitored.

I eventually want to FTP the files that have changed / been added but I'm happy to settle for a solution to the first part of the problem as I know how to ftp (but by all means include this if you want to!)

I am using OSX 10.5.8

python ruby macos filesystems
