This software allows for the replication of web files from a staging area to multiple web servers, with support for remote FTP sites. It streamlines the process of managing web content across different servers.
One of the features of this software is that it can detect duplicate files, even when they have different filenames, and only transmit them once. This feature saves bandwidth for servers at remote locations. The software also compresses files prior to transmission, reducing the overall size of the files being transmitted.
Another feature of the software is that it retains a full copy of your Web site in the PostgreSQL repository, allowing for fast rebuilds. The software will replicate complete directory structures and files. File manipulation is securely detected through changes in file sizes and through calculation of two hash codes.
You can place your staging area on the Web server itself or at another site. The software will utilize your available bandwidth to achieve a fast replication. Email notifications can be enabled upon changes of the source site and upon commitment of changes to the destination site.
The software also supports remote FTP, allowing for operation with several Web servers by replicating one content source to several servers. The checking interval can be set dynamically from every minute to 180 minutes. Additionally, the initial synchronization will not replace all files on the Web servers if they are not different.
The installation process is straightforward and takes around ten minutes. Overall, this software is a powerful tool for replicating Web files across multiple servers while reducing bandwidth usage and ensuring secure file manipulation.
