Features to improve WFH during sad Covid-19 times
Pre-release
There has been a bunch of improvements since last release of EACopy and I've probably missed a bunch of things here but one really nice feature added is that it is now possible to run EACopyService somewhere else than where the network share is. The reason for this is that at EA we use NetApp for some of our shared file storages and it is not possible to run EACopyService directly on those machines to get the full benefit of EACopyService. But you can get most of the benefit by having an EACopyService sit next to your NetApp server and then use "/SERVERADDR
" to have EACopyService accelerate your copying in some cases.Some of our builds are 4gb+ and downloading those to my machine at home from the office network share takes time. By using an EACopyService at work I can accelerate the copying using "/C" to use zstd compression. Basically how it works is that the machine running EACopyService will read the files from the external network share, compress the data and send it over to my local EACopy which decompress and write to disk.
Enjoy!
