Using Windows Explorer on a local PC running Windows10 (MyPC
), if I drag and drop the example file (file1.ext, 1GB) from:
\\Network-NAS\FolderA\
to
\\Network-NAS\FolderB\
file1.ext
seems to first transfer from FolderA
to MyPC
, then from MyPC
to FolderA
. This is less problematic for single small files than let's say 1GB files. Is there anyway to mitigate this?
For example, most NAS's uses a form of LinuxOS. There are some that come with Windows Storage Server WSS 2016 (ex: Buffalo WS5020 and some Thecus). They all come with web interfaces, however on a Windows10 PC, using Windows Explorer is much more convenient for network users. Would WSS offer any advantage with enabling a direct reference change or same disk partition to partition transfer for a large file, rather than require its usual routing of the transferred files through MyPC
as I've experienced on simpler NAS's (for example WD-WesterDigitals)?
Update: Would iSCSI prevent sending files through the client?
MyPC
in some Windows servers and I would like to configure that option in this server or know where there may be a reference to it elsewhere.
