Realtime Folder Sync

Syncs folders realtime

How To Use It

• Clone the repository
• Run 'make' from your terminal
• Run './main' from your terminal

TCPStream

• Holds a stream
• Can write data and read data from the stream
• Has a static member to perform a connection, returning a stream pointer
• Preferably can be used as a stream with << and >>

TCPListener

• Listens for incoming connections and creates streams for them
• Has a 'check' function that checks the states of all the streams and if a connection is waiting

Current Version

• Either host or connect to a server
• Clients sync with the server's folder
• When changes are made the client informs the server which then informs all clients.

Future Improvements

• Utilise OS-specific directory monitoring libraries for increased efficiency.
• Incrementally write data straight to files from the TPCStream (Current: reads the entire packet from the stream then writes to file. Won't work with extremely large files)
• More user friendly
• Security
• Better methods in general
• Fewer memory leaks
