Command Line C++/C# File Copy Utility

Write a Visual Studio 2015 C++ command line program to recurse through a set of source and destination directories and copy the files and directory structure exactly. After each file copy, the destination file should be read back and SHA1 checksummed to make sure it matches the original. All attributes should be copied from the source to destination as well including file creation and modified time/dates. The purpose is to make an exact replica of a set of directories and check that they are the same. Subsequent runs should update the destination to reflect any changes in the source. Program should display the amount of time the program took to execute. No specific time deadline, no rush needed. Would prefer a good implementation rather than a quick one. *** Willing to pay more if you can offer a second version of the same program written in C#. *** Syntax: exactcopy dirspec -vss -checksum -quiet dirspecx is a text file where the first line has the keyword "source", a space and the entire rest of the line specifies the directory path of the source file tree. It is defined this way so you can copy verbatim to the end of the line to account for paths with spaces embedded. The second line has the keyword "destination" and represents the target path to copy to which may or may not exist. The remaining lines in the file (there may be an arbitrary number) all have the keyword "exclude" and represent portions of the source file tree that should be excluded from the copy. Any exclusions are defined to be a child of the source. Checks should be made to terminate if any path specified does not exist. Any argument on the command line counts as a dirspec file, there may be one or many. The only exceptions are flags. --- dirspec file example --- source C:\Data destination D:\Backups\Data exclude C:\Data\Temp exclude C:\Data\Cache Base behavior should be to read and write files in 32Mbyte chunks using a fixed buffer (allocate once and reuse to limit memory usage), generating the SHA1 checksum for comparison along the way. If a file cannot be opened, an error should be printed to stderr and the program should continue to the next file. - If a file or directory exists in the source, but does not exist in the destination, it should be created. - If a newer copy (based on modified time/date) exists in the source, the destination file should be overwritten. - If a file or directory exists in the destination, but not the source, delete it and print a message saying the file/directory was deleted. *Display* - The program should continuously display the file it is checksumming or copying on the console in a single line. After the operation is complete, the cursor should be moved back to the beginning of the line so the current activity keeps on overwriting itself as a simple activity indicator without generating screens of data. The main output that should persist on the screen as the program runs other than this last activity line is a list of any errors that occured along the way. Please trap all errors that might come up during the way (files may be on an external or network device that might be unplugged during a file copy). --- Display example --- Copying C:\Data\[login to view URL] Optional Flags: -vss If a file cannot be opened, retry the file copy operation using the Volume Shadow Copy API. -checksum If instead of using time/date to decide if the source should overwrite the destination, always checksum the source and overwrite the destination if the checksum doesn't match (regardless of time/date). -quiet Omit the output marked as *Display* Implementation notes: Use dirhash as an example of directory recursing using FileFirstFile and FindNextFile: [login to view URL] Here are some examples of accessing file attributes.
