When syncing a new server for storage group, Why does data proxy from main server?

[leonrak]

so i have storage1 and I add storage2 to make it load balance and I sync it. but I see the data is moving from storge1 to KVS main server and then to storage2. Why is that? why videos doesnt move from storage1 to storage2 directly?

There is no technical way to move files from one FTP to another FTP without copying them to primary server.

If you want to move files yourself, you can do that by directly copying them from one server to another using server shell and then just run sync in KVS to make sure all files are checked.

is it possible to add speed limit for syncing?

Unfortunately not, FTP API in PHP doesn't allow setting any limits.

Can same technique that download files from Storage1 to main KVS be used for storage1 to storage2?

KVS cannot use the same technique, because remote storage server script does not have any logic to download files.

I mean KVS use some sort of php script to download files from ftp right? Cant same script being copied inside storage servers so they can download files from each other?

It will need to be implemented in a specific way. There is no easy solution to copy something and make it easily working.
