FileWizz – The files monitor
FileWizz is a small PHP web application that allows you to monitor various files from your server, files like your websites for example.Once a monitor for certain files on the server is created, FileWizz will check all the files inside the monitor periodically and once something related to those files changes, FileWizz will create a very detailed report and it will notify you.
Each report contains detailed info about what files were created, changed and deleted. Even more, you have access to a diff tool so that you can see the differences between two versions of a file.
Common questions

Q: What is it good for?
