i try to make a backup from some paths of my local laptop harddrive to a folder on my server. Even if i'm not in the company. If i'm outside (this time i'm in China) i have to copy it through the Internet that is using http or ftp transport protocol. The start of the copy is when the user clicks to a buttom and start the backup process.
