Fetching the username who last modified or created the file

Question

Is it possible to get the name of the user who just pasted a file into a folder?

A brief overview of what I am trying to do: My application keeps watch on a folder for new files every 10 minutes. If it finds any new file it will upload that file via FTP to a specified location. I would like to know who dropped this file into the folder. Please note that this could be different from the person who created the file.

Thanks Nishant

What filesystem is on the FTP server? Does it have such support? — leppie, Feb 08 '12 at 06:58

The identity of the user modifying a file is not stored in the NTFS Change Journal, but you could use auditing of file access as suggested in this related post.
