How to synchronize folders/files between between a Url site and a local system?

Question
-
Hi,
I've developed an application that synchronize files between 2 folders, using a VPN connection. It's working smoothly, but the network administrator has asked me not to share the folder due to security reasons.
Can I use Microsoft Sync Framework for file system with a site as source folder?
Thansk!

Hi -
You should be able to do it if you have access to the IIS site data ( i.e. you should be able to do a net use * <IIS data location> ) and this should work. Note however that we have not tried this ourselves !
Thanks

Hi -
When you say site - do you mean like a Sharepoint site? Currently we can download ( or sync from ) a sharepoint site but cannot upload to a Sharepoint site - this should be possible once we ship Microsoft Sync Framework V2 CTP2.
Thanks

Hi Deepa, I have a new question for you.
I need to create a filesyncprovider for a destination folder. This destination folder is available through a VPN connection, but it requires a user and password. Is it possible to indicate this to the sync provider by code?
Thanks!

No sorry there is no way to do this currently through code.

Oups!
What would you recommend? Could I use impersonalization?
Thanks!
