Copy files to a remote TC feature request

Post by *DanAvni »

i need to copy files between two machines (one in our office and one in a remote location). i TCP/IP connection between them on any port i want.
the problem is that some of the files i need to copy from one machine to the other are huge and it takes the full bandwidth of our Internet connection to copy the file. since the huge files are already on the target machine i generate a binary delta file (the tool i am using uses rsync algorithm) and transfer that delta file and apply that on the target.
the process works great but is slow (as a typical example, i need to transfer a 500MB file but the delta file is only around 20MB which saves a lot of time transferring the file)


i thought of the following feature:
1. on one machine i start TC in TCP server mode
2. on the other machine i connect to the remote TC server as a client and see all it's files/folders and i am able to browse through all drives/folders of the remote TC machine
3. a file copy will use rsync and the ability to "talk" to the TC running on the remote PC to only transfer the delta of the file
