Once upon a time I read how you detect programmatically for mounted NTFS folders (can cause cyclic recursion when searching through folders). Now i cannot find the link.. Does anyone know how to do this? The mounting I am interested in detecting is when one folder is mounted to another folder. ...
I have a source directory eg /my/source/directory/ and a destination directory eg /my/dest/directory/, which I want to mirror with some constraints.

Hi, I have an application with 2 directories (books and export). If we create a book or a page of a book in the application a directory is added with the id of the page (this is for uploading resources). If we delete a page, the page (and it's directory) is removed from the database and the filesystem. However this resulted in a session...
I have this code showmessage('C:\TEMP\'+openfiles[openfilelist.ItemIndex].ID); if removedir('C:\TEMP\'+openfiles[openfilelist.ItemIndex].ID) then showmessage('Removed') else showmessage('Failed'); the message shows 'C:\TEMP\0' and this directory does exist as the program created it earlier and used files inside it and then later d...

We are running a large project with several different languages: Java, Python, PHP, SQL and Perl. Until now people have been working in their own private repositories, but now we want to merge the entire project in a single repository. The question now is: how should the directory structure look? Should we have separate directories for...

I have a .NET application and need to load a native library whose location is specified by the user. PInvoke looks like it'll only load from the global search paths (or a path specified at compile time?). Would the best method be to create a C++/CLI assembly which calls LoadLibrary at runtime? Would C++/CLI be simpler than C# PInvokin...
In Python on Windows, is there a way to determine if a user has permission to access a directory? I've taken a look at os.access but it gives false results. >>> os.access('C:\haveaccess', os.R_OK) False >>> os.access(r'C:\haveaccess', os.R_OK) True >>> os.access('C:\donthaveaccess', os.R_OK) False >>> os.access(r'C:\donthaveaccess', os...
I'm writing a photo gallery script in PHP and have a single directory where the user will store their pictures. I'm attempting to set up page caching and have the cache refresh only if the contents of the directory has changed. I thought I could do this by caching the last modified time of the directory using the filemtime() function a...

In my program I need to check that several paths to files are inside system temporary files folder (for example C:\Users\Roman\AppData\Local\Temp). I haven't found any method in System.IO.File, System.IO.Directory and System.IO.Path classes to do so. So I created my own: public static bool IsSafeToDeleteFileOrDirectory(string path) { ...

When using os.listdir method I need to tell which item in the resulting list is a directory or just a file. I've faced a problem when I had to go through all the directories in this list, and then add a file in every single directory. Is there a way to go through this list and remove all files from it? If it isn't possible to do with ...
I have a large directory that contains only stuff in CS and Math. It is over 16GB in size. The types are text, png, pdf and chm. I have currently two branches: a branch of my brother's and mine.

I am in a situation where I need to allow a user to download a file dynamically determined from the URL. Before the download begins, I need to do some authentication, so the download has to run through a script first. All files would be stored outside of the web root to prevent manual downloading. For example, any of the following could...
I need to delete a directory that contains read-only files. Which approach is better: using DirectoryInfo.Delete(), or ManagementObject.InvokeMethod("Delete")? With DirectoryInfo.Delete, I have to manually turn off the read-only attribute for each file, but ManagementObject.InvokeMethod("Delete") doesn't appear to need to. Is there an...
