This article describes the steps taken in the file synchroniser

Introduction

This application looks at the source folder specified and copies over any updated documents or documents that do not exist to the target folder.I wrote this script as we were running out of space on one server and had to move all of the files over to another server which had potential duplicate documents.

The application works by recording in a text file a complete directory and file listing and then checking if the files exist on the target drive and compares the last updated attribute.

You are free to copy the code all you like, but please leave my name and contact details in the code.

If you have any questions please contact me on BAKERJUK@HOTMAIL.COM.
