Question

OK. Situation.

Me if Office A in UK
Office B and C in same country in Europe

I have some files on server A (my PC) that I need to copy to server B. Once this is complete and I need to copy them to C as well, is it quicker to go A > C or B > C? If I'm using my PC to do the copy between B and C, does the data go B > A > C or just B > C? B and C are conntected to their country network.

it would be quicker to
A-B
SMS onto B
B-C

I could be wrong here but if you copy B-C from your session on A, files will travel B-A-C.

B->C data will go via machine A if you're just opening a two windows shares from A

So copy A->B then ask someone at B to copy B->C or use some remote desktop software.
