Watch Folder

[laasunde]

Hello,

Using multiple computers connected with ethernet and running WinXP SP3.

One of the computers is defined as the server, meaning it has created a file share that all the other computers can access.

All computers run an internal developed application that produce data which is stored in the above mentioned share folder.

The application synchronize which data to produce using ethernet but in some rare cases we have observed a collision. This mean, two computers have create the same data and obviously the data can only be created once.

The debug information provided by the internal application has not helped, neither has extening it. We would now like to view this seen from the file systems point of view, if possible. How can we monitor a shared folder to see which computer and processID created the file? Does such utility exist?

Thanks

Since it's an internally developed application...modify it so that it appends computer information such as MAC address or computer name to the data saved in the network share.
