Copy Protection For General Files

Apr 14, 2012

I'm making a program to protect custom game files from being copied as best I can, however there are a couple things I need to account for. Some of them I have, others, I have not been able to find information on. When the files are not in use, I have them fully encrypted and hidden from the lay user through a bunch of other tricks (+s attribute, for example). However, I would also like to prevent copying these files while they are being used by the game - obviously I cannot have them encrypted while the game is attempting to read from them.

This opens up a hole, which I have also tried to deal with, but I know my attempts in this regard are less than thorough:
Stop several known well-known copy programs from operating during operation, that being Windows Explorer, Teracopy, and cmd

Now, the other solution I was thinking of was a filesystemwatcher object scanning the better part of the computer for any copies of these files located outside of the "OK" directory, but I'm a bit skeptical as to whether or not this would be very efficient. Any ways to make copying these files difficult without rendering them unusable to the program.

Cannot Copy VWD Files To Host

Aug 25, 2009

In my ignorance, I thought I could subscribe to any host, so I chose hostmonster, and copy files from Visual Web Developer to it, thereby creating my first website. Wrong! Hostmonster is linux-based, so the files won't copy without assigning an index page at the site. The rep at the host said that linux doesn't read the language(s) I've been using to develop pages, Visual Basic and C#.

Copy Files From One Drive To Another?

Aug 3, 2011

I am trying to copy files from one drive to another. I am a novice at Visual Basic, but here are the facts. I am running Windows XP, and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. I work at a business where we need to move a small amount of data every Sunday, literally about 100k, a few small files. I'm trying to cut and paste the files as we will not need them in the main file any longer. There's also the network issue, I'm trying to pull them off a LAN, onto my computer, specifically the G: drive to the C: drive.

This is what I put so far:

vb
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click FileCopy.CopyFiles("G:SharedSFMachinesTemp&HumidityTracking", "C:Richard's Stuff") End Sub

Mar 15, 2012

I need to create an application (or find one application) that copies files from a computer to another, across the internet to create automatic backups. The target computer is a company server to which i have phisical access. The "source" computer(s) (several computers in several clients, that we - company, have also phisical acess).

Copy Files With Progress?

Feb 4, 2012

I am wanting the most efficient way to copy a file with a progress bar updating the copy percentage.

This is the standard copy code I am using:

System.IO.File.Copy(source,target)

This is very fast and efficient. However, I cannot report the copy percentage.I have tried many functions that read and save a file by opening up the filestream and then looping while reading/writing the data. This enables me to report the progress.[code]...

What is the best/efficient way to copy a file showing the copy progress?

I have to come up with a quick program (that works) for my job (I am a systems admin) that will either look in a database or excel sheet (which ever is easier) and find copy files from one directory to another. I know how to move, copy and delete, however, I need it to look for the specific filename.

Copy Files From Excel Column?

Sep 28, 2011

I have many files at work that need to be copied from one directory to another. However, I do not need to copy all the files at once.

I get excel sheets with the list of files that need to be copied once a week. So, in the main directory there is about 150.000 files and I only need to copy about 800 at a time.

I am thinking of having a textbox and an open dialog so I can pick the directory the main files are at - another one where I can choose where they will be copied to.

The problem is the list will be in excel sheet (column A). How do I have vb.net (2008) see the file names in column A and find them and move them?

Right now, I have macros in excel doing the job, however, I have so many things in this excel I need to transfer this part out and into vb.net.

The macro in excel doing the job is:

Code:
Sub CopyFiles()
Dim objFSO As FileSystemObject
Dim strSourceFolder As String

Copy Or Export Actual Files?

Nov 12, 2009

I'm using VB2008 and I have a CmdButton and a Listbox. When the CmdButton is clicked, it will look for all the files contained on a fixed directory and the names of the files will be enumerated to the listbox. I have that piece working perfectly.

The question is -- after the listbox is populated with the filenames, can I select one or multiple items from the listbox and copy the actual files from the original directory to a directory that the user will specify via browse folder dialog? Maybe right click on the selected item(s) then export? Just a thought..
