>>But I want to watch all client activity with the server through FileSystemWatcher.<

It sounds like you want to monitor this activity on the server-side. Is this a web server? I'm sure there are utilities out there for monitoring this kind of activity on a web server (you have not figured out how to get the user name and IP of the person changing the files, correct?) I don't know anything about such things though ... maybe some Google searches will help, or maybe someone else here can jump in with some ideas. Sorry. =0(
