Slow Remote copy of newly compiled files

Adrian Scottow

Hello,

I am finding that Sophos is slowing down the copy of newly compiled files to a remote shared directory. This affects the way I deployed internally developed applications - either by using Visual Studio ClickOnce publish or by simply using xcopy to copy the executables and dlls.  The slow down is something like a 60 times slowdown - so the copy is 10s without Sophos and 10 minutes with Sophos - more frustrating than a major issue.

Has anybody else had similar problems or ideas how to solve this?

Many Thanks,

Adrian

    Just as a check, if you disable the scanning of remote files does it help?

    Bit of a thread necro I realise but this perfectly describes a problem my clients devs are experiencing with project rebuilds that involve a file copy via Powershell / Windows Explorer to a remote server.

    Preposterously slow with scanning of remote files enabled, acceptable without it.

    Bit concerned that as with the other Sophos issue my clients have experienced in the few weeks they've had the product the result is disabling another bit of the protection.

    They're not going to have a great deal left at this rate.

    FWIW it seems like a problem scanning previously unseen files (DLLs in particular I'd imagine) which is obviously something devs tend to create proportionally more of.

    You can mitigate the problem by scanning the files before copying - this works out considerably faster overall but for some reason a user initiated file scan seems to require elevated privileges.
