Block Level FTP File Sync

Normally, when a file is changed, the whole file will be synchronized. Even if you just added a single byte. It's a total waste of time and bandwidth. Block Level Sync only copies changed part, not the whole file. It will improve the sync performance significantly.

	Normal Sync When a file is changed, the whole file will be synchronized even if the source file changed a single byte. It's a total waste of time and bandwidth!
	Block-Level Sync Only changed part will be synchronized. You can image that how much time and bandwidth you can save for 100 MB files, 1 GB files.

How can I know whether it actually works?

Except that you can feel the sync process completes much more faster, you can also see different info in log file:

We also did several tests so you can know how fast it can be:

• FTP Synchronizer and server is connected via Wifi, speed limits to 500KB/second
• Local and remote files are same, then we added a single byte at the beginning of each local files
