Web Farm file distribution

Question

I'm looking for a way to move files from my machine to several servers on a web farm.

I currently use beyond compare to move the files over; one BC session for each server on the farm. I'm fine with this because BC is fast and I like the control I have.

Our business gave me a new requirement of automatic file distribution of images. I've read a little about DFS but I'm not sure that is the route I want to take. I want the files to actually end up on the servers.

Any tools for this out there. A scripting option perhaps?

Answer 1

Have a look into MSDeploy and MSBuild this might be a newer version of msdeploy

At my place I think we use WanSync though I couldn't be 100% sure because I'm not in that department.

Answer 2

We use Robocopy in order to copy identical configuration files to all servers in a citrix farm, works great.
