Send email after FTP completes.
I am sending files via FTP daily and I would like to get the output from the log file sent to me via email. Does anyone know how to set this up?

Use a CRON job to execute a Perl script at a certain time each day. The perl script will email the contents of the logfile to your address. It's child's play to setup. Good luck...

As obi_wonton stated it can be done by using a script of some sort... Perl would be an obvious choice on a linux box, but if you are running ftp on Windows I suggest AutoIt3... found at AutoItScript.com. It is open source and has a great support forum if you need any help. The syntax is much simpler than perl.
