Executing a script on receving a file

Yeah, you'd do it through the script that's receiving the upload in the first place.

Maybe I didn't make me understand (my english is not so good).
What I need is to configure Apache, or maybe the systen (Windows 2000 in my case) to execute a script when a client upload a file, not necessary through a web form but also with FTP or an application.
Somethink similar to an event on the server.
Thank's for your answer

Marcello;
If a file is uploaded via FTP, the FTP application is responsible for either putting a trigger somewhere or actually running a script to perform your desired action.
Similarly, if an SFTP/SSH upload takes place, that's a DIFFERENT application and different scripting. Same for Apache and any scripted pages.
If you want an "event" to happen if a file lands in a folder (via FTP, SFTP, Apache, etc.) then you would want to build a small script to monitor that folder for new files and take the appropriate action. That way, your 'watcher' application is not concerned with HOW the file got there, it's only concerned that there's a new file to do something with.
In fact, I think if you google for "watcher" you'll find something.
