FileSystemWatcher IncludeSubdirectories problem

[Paul73]

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm using FileSystemWatcher to watch a folder on the network that'll copy files to a local drive. Everything works fine when files are added to the root directory. So x:\file.txt is copied to c:\file.txt.

But when I drop a file into a subdirectory (ie. x:\subFolder\file.txt to c:\file.txt) I get an UnauthorizedAccessException error.

It looks like when a file is created or changed in the sub folder the FileSystemWatcher isn't returning the file name. So it's trying to copy x:\ to c:\.

If I hardcode the file name like this it works:

 
File.Copy(e.FullPath + @"\file.txt", NetworkArchive + @"\file.txt", true);
 

Here is the code I'm using:

 
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 
FileSystemWatcher watch = new FileSystemWatcher();
 
watch.Path = NetworkDrive;
watch.IncludeSubdirectories = true;
watch.Filter = "*.*";
watch.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.CreationTime | NotifyFilters.FileName | NotifyFilters.LastWrite | NotifyFilters.Size;
watch.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
 
 
//EVENT HANDLER
watch.Created += new FileSystemEventHandler(watch_Event);
watch.Changed += new FileSystemEventHandler(watch_Event);
watch.Renamed += new RenamedEventHandler(watch_Event);
 
}
 
 
static void watch_Event(object sender,FileSystemEventArgs e)
{
string LocalDrive = Settings1.Default.LocalDrive;
string NetworkArchive = Settings1.Default.NetworkArchive;
 
//COPY FILE TO LOCAL DRIVE
File.Copy(e.FullPath, NetworkArchive + e.Name, true);
 
}
 
 
 

Thank you for any help!
