Brief Summary:

we need a tool like dropbox

tool has 3 components:
1. windows 2008 service that sync file system directories

2. server component, that will be connected by all members and shows the synced directories / files

3. windows vista / w7 client where can sync file system directory or optional only write from server component (but not write any changes back)


about 1.
windows 2008 service looks continuously for an ini-file, where describes the directories (could have more then one) to be synced
the ini files tells the sessions, the allowed windows 2008 services and vista / w7 clients where can connect to this session (and the rights: sync or read only)
sync have to work over an ssl http connection
files have not to be encrypted (ssl encryption is enough)
the service has to write the log to the windows log
the service has to handle changed files, very small and large (100mb) files and also stable in case of blocked etc. files
sync process has to be be very reactive and fast (even on gprs connections)

about 2.
server component should be run itself (on a windows 2003 / 2008 server) and have as less a possible perquisites
obviously the server component has to be secured (as exposed directly into the internet) and 100% stable
the server component has to be able to handle different sessions of windows 2008 services & clients

and needs to give a read-only access to websurfers (session / password protected) with an auto-refeshing option

about 3.
a client like "windows 2008 service" but has a gui
the client connects to a session and allows to define the directory on the client computer
optionally the client should bring up a message, in case of new synced files


all components have to be developed in c# 2008



Requirements Interview Answers:
To help you bid more accurately, the buyer was interviewed about the requirements for this bid request. Below are their answers. Untitled Page
Bid request Type: What kind of work do you need done?
Software related (Includes desktop applications and internet websites)
Bid request Parts: What do you want the worker to do on this bid request?
Requirements: The worker will analyze the problem and propose a software-based solution to the problem.
Programming: The worker will take the requirements and translate them into the language of the computer (and test it).
User installation: The installer will move the software from the place it was created (which is called the development or QC environment) to where you will use it (which is called the production environment). The installer then tests the software to make sure that the installation was done properly and completely.
Req. Doc. Type: What kind of documentation do you want for this bid request?
Informal documentation - As the buyer talks back and forth about the bid request with the worker, those conversations become the requirements.Remember to communicate ALL of the details of your bid request on the Rent A Coder site. If you don't, and there is a dispute, then important details of the contract will not be documented and cannot be taken into account in arbitration. If you feel you MUST go offsite (for example, using the phone or IM) then afterwards post everything onsite and get the other party to post that they agree to those contractual terms.
Program Type: What kind of software should the worker create (and/or install)?
  • A desktop or server program: This software runs on a user's own PC/workstation, or on a server.
Desktop / server program info
Size of application: How many screens/forms need to be created/edited in this application?
Approximately 10.

I do know the operating system(s):
  • Microsoft Windows -- version(s): vista, w7, 2k3, 2k8
    		•
    Database: Will this bid request include a database?
    No, it does not include a database.
    Installation Program: Does the worker need to create an installation program?
    No. The worker needs to only give me instructions on how to install it.
    Legal: 1) I require complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done (so that I may modify it in the future).
    2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):
    2a) If there are any server-side deliverables (intended to only exist in one place in the Buyer's environment) then they must be installed by the Worker in ready-to-run condition (unless specified elsewhere by the Buyer).
    2b) All other software (including but not limited to any desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute) must include a software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request (unless specified elsewhere by the Buyer).
    3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased.
    3b) No part of the deliverable may contain any copyright restricted 3rd party components (including GPL, GNU, Copyleft, etc.) unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the worker's Worker Legal Agreement.
    Other Requirements:
    • All deliverables must be uploaded to Rent A Coder before the deadline(s) for this bid request...with no exceptions. If this contract makes it impossible for a competent person to do this, then do not start this bid request...but instead alert Rent A Coder of an un-arbitratable, illegal bid request.
    • Remember that contacting the other party outside of the site (by email, phone, etc.) on all business bid requests <$500 (before the buyer's money is escrowed) is a violation of both the software buyer and worker agreements. Rent A Coder monitors all site activity for such violations and can instantly expel transgressors on the spot, so we thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you notice a violation please help out the site and report it. Thanks for your help.
