I have a situation that I have an every day updated 5gb file that I have to synchronize inside a slow network (4Mbps).

I'll think that I would need an application that has an ability to copy only changed sectors of the file?

Is there such program?

this would prolly due the trick:

ive seen tons of these things before so you if that doesnt work for you, we can prolly find another

personally I would say sounds like a job for 'rsync'. however, I know the concept, but I'd have yet to set it up on a box.

http://itefix.no/cwrsync/ (Cygwin build)

If you can wait till next week, I could try to set 2 VMs up and look how cwrsync works out.

I looked up the PatchOnClick program and it looked kind of nice, but there is no command line support in the freeware version. There was also some nice links behind the link that geek gave.

http://www.clickteam.com/eng/patchmaker.php I don't want any adds and the method that this program works is not what i'm looking for.

http://xdelta.org/ I must test this one, if there ain't no better ones available.

Does the cwRsync need a ssh server installation?

I think it comes with an OpenSSH in the package.

If you have chosen OpenSSH server component, ssh daemon is also installed as a service (OpenSSHServer).

I'll think that I should take a closer look to that xdelta. It looks like a life safer program and it is open source etc. I'll think that it would be nice if someone can write a simple AutoIT gui for it.

I will post my testings with it here. Maybe I can use vshadow.exe with it to also transfer locked down files.

Tested it a bit and it really rocks, this is what I've been looking for. Here is some usage help.

Make patch: xdelta3.exe -e -s old_file new_file delta_file

Apply patch: xdelta3.exe -d -s old_file delta_file decoded_new_file

DeltaCopy. Rsync for Windows. Has GUI, can be set up with what looks like Windows Task Scheduler, so command line usage should be possible. Can apparently also do locked files.
