1. Re:copy/send file to Multiple PC's
Renzo:
What about:
1. Share the folder to the LAN where the copied file is (not the
original).
2. Have your application copy the original file to the shared folder.
3. Create a file in that same folder that tells the other 3 PCs that
a new data file is ready for processing by its very existance.
4. Have the 3 PCs applications process the file where it sits on the
shared folder (don't copy, just process it there).
5. When each of the 3 PCs apps is finished, have it place a file in
that shared folder.
6. The app. on the shared folder's PC sits there waiting for all 3
files to appear. When they're all there, delete all 5 files.
7. Check to see if the original file was recreated and if so repeat
from step 1.
The benefit is that your only doing 1 copy. You can also eliminate the
2 second loop. You only check for a new original file when all of the
files have finished with the copied file. You may not have the
consistancy of 2 second intervals, but this method will probably
eliminate your timing and read/write error problems.
