You might also consider installing rsync on your servers.
http://www.brentnorris.net/rsyncntdoc.html. I haven't ever used it on
windows, so I cannot comment on the performance, reliability, etc., on that
platform, but I have had good luck with it on solaris.

some entry in web.config that makes both servers point to the exact same

"think" it is the most fault tolerant

Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Custom File Replication


HI all,

I know I have been asking a few questions recently but I am not asking for
code, just general advice on the best way to achieve things.

Anyway…..

We have a custom CMS where by you can add things like image files and
flash
files to something we call the Asset manager.

This is OK when we only have one web server but as is the case for our
maiden voyage of the CMS, the cms will be on 2 web servers.
Obviously when you upload an asset to 1 server, it will need replicated to
the other server.
I have used Application centre in the past but we have no budget for this
type of thing presently, so I guess we have to write out own.

I think a simple file copy is bad because of permissions but maybe this is
the simplest way to go.  I know you can send attachments over web services
using DIME but some of these files could be large.
Any thoughts people??
Thanks
Paul
