Windows service to synchronize a destination folder with a source folder.

Coded to supply offline(no internet, but local intranet) computers with up to date company manuals, primarily .pdf/.doc/.. files

Performs this:

• Checks for new files on source, copy to destination if missing.
• Checks if newer version of existing files are present on source, deletes old one on destination and copies newer to destination
• If newer file exist, but current file is in use at destination(i.e. locked file), the check will skip copying and try again in set check interval

Need to be edited for own use (in GetManualsService.cs):

// Define remote URL to where the source is.
private string remoteUrl = @"\\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\Offshore_Manuals\Manuals";
// Local folder to use as destination and sync folder.
private string localUrl = @"D:\Manuals";

Service must be configured with local user that has access to remote file server

Popup for this will show when installing the service using Install.bat

Can edit following in ProjectInstaller.Designer.cs:

// Uncomment this to enable auto login when installing service, edit with correct username and password.

//this.serviceProcessInstaller1.Password = @"RemoteSourceAccess(LocalUser)";

//this.serviceProcessInstaller1.Username = @"PasswordToAccess";

Check runs on a set interval of 6 hours, can be changed in GetManualsService.cs

// Timer for running OnTimer method
    Timer timer = new Timer
    {
        Interval = 60000 * 60 * 6 // 6 hours
    };
