Mounting A Remote FTP Folder Inquiry

[P4rD0nM3]

Hey guys, which bandwidth will be used if for example his scenario happens.


serv1.example.com - local
serv2.example.com - remote

I mount folder2/ from serv2 to folder1/ in serv1. It so happens that folder1 can be accessed via the web.

So if you go to serv1.example.com/folder1/blah.txt you'll be able to download it. Now my question is, which bandwidth is being used when downloading. serv1 or serv2? Thanks.

both, obviously.

Both? How so?

well assume serv2 is in china, serv1 is in usa, and me (the internet user) is in europe.

I access folder1, then data goes from china to usa to europe, so both bandwidths are used
