Automate transfer of incoming files to another folder?

I've just bought a Fuji camera which has an auto-upload feature. The problem is that it will only upload to a local drive on the host (WIndows 7) PC, whereas my photos are all stored on a NAS. I've had to set up a local folder specifically to allow uploads from the camera.
What's the best way of automating a process to monitor this folder and automatically transfer uploaded files to a network share? Ideally I'd like this to happen in close to real time, rather than having a scheduled script for example.
 
have you tried mapping the network folder to a drive letter. I've got my nas 'video' folder mapped to a letter and it acts like a normal drive/folder albeit slower

Yes I have it mapped as my P: drive but the Fuji software was too smart to be fooled by the drive mapping :(
 
I've not tried it with a network share but you could make a directory junction - this may trick their software into thinking it's part of the local drive.

eg. (run from CMD with admin)
Code:
mklink /d "C:\Photos" "\\servername\share name"

Thanks for the suggestion - that didn't fool it either :(
 
a decent FTP batch file ?

Something like this that will only upload new incoming photographs? you could then edit it a bit more to delete all files that were uploaded to the local drive by the camera....... bit of a pig solution but it should work

Presumably this would need to run on a scheduled basis? (I was hoping for something that could be triggered by the arrival of a file, rather than needing to run perpetually on a schedule)
