Microsoft Sync Remote Files?

Basically I have two parts of my application that I need help with.

1. I need to send an ini containing some preferences over a TCPClient socket to a client. How might I do this?

2. I need to scan a folder on the client side and see what is different from the folder on the server, then send the changed files.

Thanks very much, 开发者_开发知识库Christian

Potential leads:

1. Microsoft Sync Service - They mention that this can be used for remote files, but I have not found any explanation or code samples.

2. FileSync on SourceForge - Looks good, but does it have network sync?

You could do this with Microsoft sync framework.

Here is a code sample for doing file synchronisation: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/File-Synchronization-516e3ad7

Here's how I actually fixed this:

Client connects to server (or webserver!) Client downloads XML with file structure, including MD5 of each file. Client figures out which files need to be redownloaded. New files are downloaded from server (or webserver!)

Honestly all of this can be done through a webserver approach, simply host all the files and the XML structure file on a normal webserver and then have the client use these files.
