Sounds like rsync coupled with a file monitor program would be a perfect fit.
From: Graeme Carstairs [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 15, 2010 3:37 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: File transfer program suggestions request. HI all, We have a customer who is going to be operating a drilling ship and has the following file transfer requirements and I was hoping someone on the list could give me some suggestions. Scenario Ship is running a data acquisition program to log data from the well its drilling. The data is logged to an asii text file. On board the ship a software package continuously reads the data to display information about the well in real time. The owner of the field is on shore and needs to see the same information as the ship does, and will be using the same viewing package. There will be a sattelite link to the internet on the vessel. So what we require is a file transfer program that can monitor the log file on the vessel, without locking it, and transfer deltas to a similar file on the beach that again is not locked. On the vessel will be windows, on the shore we are assuming windows at the moment but it could be linux. Can any one suggest anything. Thanks Graeme -- Good news everyone, you have just received and e-mail from me! ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
