I would like to listen or check particular folder in system whether it contains any file or not in MFC socket programming (CSocket). So that, if file present, it should be sent to other application automatically.

What I have tried:

Tried usual CFile object and Open(). I'm wondering how to check the folder constantly or frequently?

That was really helpful! tqvm...

Now I'm able to spy and notify any changes in directory. How to send the modified files to other connected client application? Do I need to implement thread or any simple method available?

I suppose you could add on a "copy" command over the file system or a "push" to non-PCs

I'm not particularly using any button to transfer file. Once connection is made, the file should be transferred from server folder to client folder in same computer.

The purpose here to transfer files through MFC socket. Using copyfile() doesn't serve the purpose. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
