Data Stream while copy-ing

[Zero Tolerance]

When doing a normal copy (ie windows Explorer) the data-stream always goes through the computer your sitting at.

Correct?

This means that if you copy from one network drive to anther located on the same server, while sitting half a continent away - the datastream comes to your computer en goes back to the server. So From A to B via C (C being: the station you were at)

If I remember correctly there has been a copy-command (under Novell I think) wich was somewhat more intelligent than that. It send the datastream from A to B without it going through "C" (C being: the station you were at)

Now my Question: How does Total Commander handle this?

And next Question: If TC uses the "Windows-Method" is there a way to circumvent "C" wich makes for more efficient bandwith use.

thnx,

Zero-T

The special Novell Netware version of Total Commander does this. To my knowledge, there is no command for Windows servers which would allow it, sorry.

The above link points to an installer which contains just the new totalcmd.EXE, so you need to install the normal TC 6.51 first.
