Transferring large video files over cellular data, not sending data twice, due to cell drops
I need to keep large video files (2-5 gb) sync'd between a stationary hard wired machine and a mobile laptop that is often roaming on very expensive international cellular data. I need the files dow...
I reread your response. I think I need to be a bit clearer. I under stand the files already there won't resync if the cell service drops. My concern is if a large 4GB file has already uploaded 90% of the file over the connection, and the connection drops, how does it handle that file? Does it just upload the last 10% of the file after it reconnects, not reusing that expensive data, or will it have to upload the 4 GB all over again? I cannot find anything documented about how the data transfer occurs. I would have thought there would be a whitepaper with details. -Bill

Super User IIThanks Mark! That's the detail I was looking for 4mb is perfect. Sending 4gb again would be costly, expecially if I am internationally roaming. -Bill
