I want to make a batch script able to listen to my ftp server and download files to my computer every time a new file is uploaded on the ftp server.
Any ideas? I use WinSCP.

You can use WinSCP scripting with its synchronize
command:
:Loop
winscp.com /command ^
"option batch abort" ^
"open <session>" ^
"synchronize local <local directory> <remote directory>" ^
"exit"
timeout 10
goto :Loop
On Windows XP and older, use ping -n 10 127.0.0.1
instead of timeout 10
.
Use the /synchronize local switch of WinSCP. It will check the remote server and download any files that don't match a local directory.
winscp.exe [session] /synchronize local [ <local directory> [ <remote directory> ] ]
Then you can use task manager to run it on a schedule or use it in a batch file in a loop
ex:
:Loop
winscp.exe [session] /synchronize local [ <local directory> [ <remote directory> ] ]
ping -n 10 127.0.0.1
goto :Loop
will run it every 10 seconds.
