Generally the accidental applies to all similarly named notes, of whatever octave, within the bar but this is not an ironclad rule. Some authorities disagree.
See (quotes lifted from http://www.pianoworld.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2038234/Accidentals%20-%20do%20they%20apply%20to.html (Scroll down to almost the bottom of the page)
From Read, G. (1979). Music notation: A manual of modern practice (2nd ed.). New York, NY: Taplinger Publishing:
"When an accidental not included in a key signature precedes any note, it affects the pitch it precedes--and no other--for that one measure only" (p. 129, author's italics).
From Heussenstamm, G. (1987). The Norton manual of music notation. New York, NY: W. W. Norton:
"An accidental applies only to the note at its original pitch level. When that note is sounded at a different octave level, another accidental is needed" (p. 69, author's italics).
From Gould, E. (2011). Behind bars: The definitive guide to music notation. London, England: Faber Music:
"An accidental holds good for the duration of a bar. It applies only to the pitch at which it is writen (sic): Each additional octave requires a further accidental" (p. 78).
