Technology behind VV

I have just downloaded a copy of VV with plans to deploy within a hosting environment to replicate web content amongst servers - one to many.

I am curious to know what underlying technology VV uses to monitor remote 'source' folders for changes. I will be copying from a remote 'source' to a remote destination with the VVLauncher console running on a seperate machine.

Does VV poll remote folders to check for changes as no agents or components are installed on these machines.

Hi, VV uses the underlying Windows API to monitor folders for changes.

Does this mean it polls? Or does it work at a much lower level?

Hi, it does not poll, it relies on the low level windows network notifications.
