  1. You need get recursive listing of remote ftp directory and save it (look at https://github.com/mscdex/node-ftp and https://github.com/evanplaice/node-ftpsync)
  2. Set timeout to get new recursive listing
  3. Compare new and old listing (look at https://github.com/andreyvit/json-diff) and call handlers to the corresponding events
  4. Overwrite old listing with new
  5. Return to step two
