Remote Synchronize PHP

[benaust]

Hi Guys

 

Stock again and this is the scenario.

 

There is a server, using php an admin uploads pdf file to and manages it via a php & Mysql interface or application if you like. Files get updated, added or removed on daily bases by the admin.

 

There are few client who have a folder on their PC which they contains files on the server.

 

How could PCs files in this folder be synchronised to the central server, on schedule bases?

 

Any Idea or help is appreciated in advance.

 

Thanks

Ben

There would be a program running on these PCs, connecting on scheduled periods to server and downloading newest versions of required files. On Windows you could call it from Task Scheduler, on Linux use cron tables.

Any Idea of this could be done, When it comes to win I would be hopeless in programming completely.

 

Would this be possible, maybe very idealistic, but would be ideal.

 

There is also on the same server a script that they run to see who is in the offices. This is accessed and needs login. Let say, when clients login, some code will check the status of what they have locally in a specific folder and cross reference it to the server file, in which then they would find what needs updating, or something in that line.
