SyncData

SyncData is a console application that synchronizes files and directories between two specified paths. It ensures that both directories have the same content by copying files and creating directories as needed.

Features
Added ✅
Partially added ⚠️
Not yet implemented 🛑
  • Synchronizes files from source to target directory and vice versa. ✅
  • Creates missing directories in both source and target directories. ✅
  • Displays progress of synchronization with a progress bar. ✅
  • Verbose mode for detailed logging. ✅
  • Option to log messages to a file. ✅
  • Exclude specific files or directories from synchronization. ⚠️
  • Upcoming Features:
    • Differential synchronization to only copy changed files. 🛑
    • Compression support to reduce data transfer size. 🛑
    • Network synchronization to sync directories over a network. 🛑
    • Preserve file permissions and timestamps. 🛑

Requirements

  • .NET 8.0 SDK or later.
  • .NET 8.0 Runtime.

Parameters

  • -source=<path>: Specifies the source directory path
  • -target=<path>: Specifies the target directory path
  • -v or -verbose: Enables detailed output logging
  • -log-file: Enables logging to file (syncData.log)
  • -exclude=path or -exclude={path1,path2}: Excludes specified paths from synchronization

Usage

To run the application, use one of the following commands:

Using dotnet run

dotnet run --project SyncData/SyncData.csproj <source_directory> <target_directory> [-v | -verbose] [-log-file]

Using the compiled executable

SyncData.exe <source_directory> <target_directory> [-v | -verbose] [-log-file]

Replace <source_directory> and <target_directory> with the paths of the directories you want to synchronize. Use -v or -verbose for verbose output and -log-file to log messages to a file.

Example

dotnet run --project SyncData/SyncData.csproj "C:\SourceDir" "C:\TargetDir" -v -log-file
