Default What is the best client/server software for linux...

...that can move files between servers? I'm looking for a good client/server solution to move large amounts of files from one directory to another between multiple servers. Sortof like a tunnel, files are placed in one directory and are moved to another directory on another server.I've looked into and tried NFS and found it to have too many problems.Anyone have any suggestions on other software?Ideally this software will also be able to 'mirror' files as opposed to 'moving' them.

it depends on how 'realtime' you want it and what not. NFS would be the obvious option if you want it to appear like a mount on your client machines to move files in to. If you wish to just sync the files on a schedule (like nightly or hourly) you might want to check out rsync. It can do full and incremental syncs of files between two machines.If you still need NFS like accessibility you may want to look into retrying NFS :) Perhaps it's problems are due to misconfiguration. (NFS is still pretty standard for this type of application)

That's a hard question if NFS didn't convinced you, then you will probably need GFS.It'll act as NFS but all files/directories will be locked to avoid corruption, very similar to a Distributed Database.Just mount as many folders as servers you have and start moving thing around.
