For example, on a Windows based system I have two windows explorer programs opened and in each explorer window I am viewing the contents of two server's files.
Now, if I were to transfer files between both servers by dragging files across my desktop from one into another are those files going directly to each other or is my PC being used as an intermediary and thereby slowing the transfer speed?
Answer
If you are using Windows Explorer on desktop A to transfer files from server B to server C, then yes the files are traveling from B to A to C.
The easiest way to bypass this method is to use a Remote Desktop Connection to server B and then copy to Server C.
There are other alternative methods, such as using telnet, ssh, scripts, and 3rd party programs that allow you to bypass the middleman.
