Byte replication

Content Previous Next

Network File Monitor Pro is able to replicate only changed parts of a file instead of a full file copying. This allows to reduce replication time and save network traffic.

File replacement field

To activate this option select Changed parts in the File replacement field.

NOTE: this option must be used carefully. The destination file has not be modified manually or by other software because in this case the replication could damage it.

Byte replication follows such rules:

•	if a destination file does not exist the partially changed file will be copied in full;

•	if a destination file is longer than the source one the destination file will be truncated;

•	Network File Monitor Pro scans source files for changes. So to save network traffic the source files and Network File Monitor Pro have to be located on the same computer;

•	if the source is located on another computer or source type is FTP/HTTP Network File Monitor Pro will copy a source file to the computer where it is installed, determine if the file was changed and replicate the changed parts to the destination files.

NOTE: if source files are large the scanning of the file changes may take a lot of time.
