PSListener Help

PSListener Overview

PSListener is a synchronization utility that enhances the abilities of PeerSync to synchronize data. PSListener working in conjunction with PeerSync helps in the movement of modified and new data at the block/byte level to ensure minimal amount of data transfer and/or use of network bandwidth. This process will allow for faster transfer of data to one or more locations and/or less use of network resources.

The major benefit of the initial PSListener release is the updating of modified Source Files that need to be synchronized over the network. Through analysis of Source and Target Files, PSListener can decide, specifically, what blocks/bytes of the Source File that need to be sent over the network to re-create the Target file. This will lower the amount of data transfer at the same time increasing the speed of synchronization. This block/byte level capability can be run in all PeerSync modes of operation: Manual, Interval, Scheduled and Real-Time, and also has the ability to utilize the Embedded Open File Manager option available with PeerSync.

Special Announcement

With the release of PeerSync v7.3, the role of the PSListener expanded to service file transfer over the TCP/IP protocol. PeerSync in conjunction with the TCP WAN Connector Option now gives users the ability to transfer data across the Internet. The PSListener would simply be required to run on the remote device(s). Adding the ByteReplicator Option to the PeerSync package will enable PSListener's block/byte level capability described above.

Furthermore, the PSListener has been improved to support bi-directional synchronization over TCP in version 7.4 of PeerSync as well as provide limited Status Display information to the PSObserver across TCP.
