Watch Folder Uplaod Script

Because of the way the site moves a photo once it is uploaded, it's not possible to simply have a watch folder on a computer to upload images in real time (from my photo booths), because it will see the file is no longer there and try and upload it again....
The work around for this is to upload the photo and then move it to a different folder on the watch folder computer.
This is not in my wheel house to write this script (which I'd need for 2 sub folders at once), but I'm thinking it might be something to get someone on Fiverr to have a crack at?
Possibly even with a GUI (depending on costs, and the possibility of splitting the cost if others are interested?)
Would be keen to know your thoughts...

Some ftp programs allow one way sync only, such as winscp.

Don't know if this would solve your problem though.

I'm interested in a similar feature/solution for this. Maybe it's the same.
If Styist had a "stream" when activated any image uploaded/ftp would be automatically processed and added to the stream of images.
It would constantly be updated as new photos were uploaded to it.
Two Flows:
Review Flow
1. Photo Taken
2. Photo Rated by Photographer
3. High Rated Photos Downloaded to iPhone/iPad (Mobile Device)
4. Mobile Device Uploads/FTP to Sytist Site.
5. Photos are batch processed by Sytist and placed in the stream.
Tethered Flow (No Review)
1. Photos Taken
2. All Photos are Uploaded/FTP to Sytist Site
3. All Photos are processed and placed in the stream
Does Sytist already do the auto/batch processing?

I too join those who ask for a photo upload system more aimed at events in real time, without going through ftp.
