Hi guys,
We have 3 files servers, one in Cape Town, Pretoria and Durban. I would like to know if it is possible syncing only one folder on each of these systems over the internet.
To be more clear, our main branch in Pretoria will add a file to the folder (let's call it SyncFolder). Now, the Durban and Cape Town offices will synchronise once a day and check the Pretoria Server's SyncFolder and update their folders respectively.
Is it possible? We do have fixed IP's at all 3 branches, if that helps.

Look up dropbox.com
You can configure a custom folder and all files are stored on a secure cloud server.
It's free so long as you don't exceed 2GB, that is

Over the internet? Seriously?
If you have a WAN then:
ROBOCOPY
You can create a batch file to run as a scheduled task on your CT and DBN servers to copy files from the PTA server and set it to only take files modified after a certain date.

Dropbox won't work for us. Way to much internet traffic will be used accessing these files, and that is one thing we are trying to avoid.DarkStar wrote:Look up dropbox.com
