It's possible that such direct TCP/IP connection is faster then
file server protocols especially if they need more then one IP frame
to exchange data so it's one of the reason to use it in such cases.
Please make real speed tests.
The second reason to use NETIO server is resolving problem with
concurrent access to the same files using Harbour applications
compiled for different platforms, i.e. DOS, LINUX, Windows and OS2.
It's very hard to configure all client stations to use correct
locking system. NETIO fully resolves this problem so it can be
interesting alternative also for MS-Windows users only if they
do not want to play with oplocks setting on each station.
I'm interesting in user opinions about real life NETIO usage.
Really fantastic !!!
Third reason to use NETIO: you don't have to share your dbf's folder, so
nobody can open your dbfs with excel or other program than yours.
Big security improvement !
Will test it as soon as I find some free time...
Thank you very much !
