# Folder Synchronizer

This project implements a one-way folder synchronization tool that keeps the content of a replica folder identical to a source folder. 

It performs periodic synchronization to ensure the replica matches the source, including adding new files, 

updating modified ones, and removing obsolete files or directories.

## Features

    One-way synchronization: Ensures the replica folder matches the source folder.

    Support for nested directories: Synchronizes files and folders at all levels.

    Periodic synchronization: Runs at a user-specified interval.

    Detailed logging:

        Logs all actions, such as file copying, updates, deletions, and errors.

        Logs are saved to a user-specified file and displayed in the console.

    Command-line interface: Fully configurable via command-line arguments.

    Graceful exit: Handles KeyboardInterrupt (Ctrl+C) to terminate safely.

## Usage

### Prerequisites

    Python 3.6 or higher

### Command-line Arguments

```bash

python folder_synchronizer.py    

```

    : Path to the source folder (must exist).

    : Path to the replica folder (created if it does not exist).

    : Synchronization interval in seconds (must be greater than 0).

    : Path to the log file where actions are recorded.

### Example

```bash

python folder_synchronizer.py ./source ./replica 10 ./sync.log

```

    Synchronizes the contents of ./source to ./replica every 10 seconds.

    Logs all actions to sync.log.

### Stopping the Program

Press Ctrl+C to terminate the synchronization process.

Logging

    File Logging: All synchronization actions (file copying, updates, deletions, and errors) are logged to the file specified by the user.

    Console Logging: All log messages are also displayed in the command-line interface for real-time feedback.

### Error Handling

The program validates all input arguments and handles errors such as:

    Missing or invalid folder paths

    File permission issues

    Unexpected interruptions
