Accelerated Port in Syncrify
In addition to HTTP(S), Syncrify can use a proprietary non-http port for transferring files. This protocol offers the following benefits over HTTP.
- Significant performance benefits when transferring new files that do not exist on the destination server.
- Built-in compression
- Built-in encryption
Configuration Steps
- Log in to the Syncrify web interface as the administrator
- Click Configuration
- Select the HTTP Configuration tab
- Specify a value for Accelerated Port. A value of 0 will disable it
- Save
Firewall Configuration
You will have to allow inbound traffic for this port on two firewalls:
- Local firewall on the machine where Syncrify Server is running
- Network firewall on the edge of your network.
- Open TCP as well as UDP ports.
Note: You need to configure ports for the network running Syncrify Server. No configuration is required on
the client's firewall.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a mandatory port?
No. Using this port is optional but will give you a better performance.
What happens if the port is blocked from the client's end?
Syncrify is designed to use HTTP(S) if a client cannot communicate with the server using the accelerated port.
No further action is required to make this happen.
When can I see the speed benefits?
The accelerated protocol is only used when transferring a new file. Additionally, you will see the most benefit when transferring many small files. For example, when transferring hundreds of new files in one folder.
