Copying files from server to server
Hi gang,
I'm sitting at my computer and I mapped 2 network drive between 2 different servers. Why when I'm copying large file from one server to the other server, why is my network card on my computer is actually seeing all the traffic. Mario

Ask your server administrator to set up a console session for you on one of the servers to prevent this from happening.

Mario You have to copy a file from a PC, the file must first be sent to your PC before sending the file over to the second server. In total you are using three (3) computers to copy a file between two PCs / servers. This is the way Windows normally works, unless you are using some type of remote access to one of the servers.

Copying files from server to server
Little tip when copying files over the network. Use Microsoft's RoboCopy.
Very useful. "Mario Savard" wrote: Hi gang, I'm sitting at my computer and I mapped 2 network drive between 2 different servers. Why when I'm copying large file from one server to the other server, why is my network card on my computer is actually seeing all the traffic. Mario

Yes, robocopy is a fine tool but it will still channel all data via the
user's PC, same as the other tools. "Gis Bun" wrote in message ... Little tip when copying files over the network. Use Microsoft's RoboCopy. Very useful.
