There are certain common settings that should be reviewed if you feel the performance of data replication is too slow:
1) Logging in Debug mode: Some shops will temporarily set the logging to debug mode and forget to change the settings back. Please set logging to the recommended default INFO mode using the following steps for each server:
a. Open your FRP console to the Server Overview tab
b. Edit the server settings.
c. Click 'Advanced Settings.'
d. In the 'General Parameters' settings, change the 'Debug level' to 'INFO.'
2) Compression and Encrption: If the bulk of your files being transferred appear to be already compresses (ex. PDF or .zip files) compression and encryption is not very useful. Please disable Encryption and Compression using the following steps for each job type or the particular jobs in question:
a. Open FRP to the Scheduled Jobs tab
b. Select a job and click Edit.
c. Click 'Advanced.'
d. In the 'Transfer Options' section, un-check (clear) the 'File Compression' and 'File Encryption' options.
e. Click Finish.
These settings should make a difference in the performance of your data replication. Please let us know if this helps or if we can assist you further with our utility.
