title: Uploading large files to a cluster of servers
body: <p>We have a cluster of 4 web servers which contain a few domains, one of which contains quite a lot of videos. We also have a 'staging' server which we usually sync/upload files to and then from there rsync them all out via a bash script to the other web servers.</p>
  
  <p>The problem we have is that quite a bit of this is manual. If in the weekend one of the content editors wants to replace a video / upload a new one then they need to wait until Monday and we are finding they will upload files to other places since it's easier etc.</p>
  
  <p>We need a solution so staff members can, upload large files to the staging server and then sync them out over the other servers. Hopefully without anyone else involved in the process.</p>
  
  <p>Been looking at ajax file managers;
  upload via sftp
  use the file manager to move the files
  some super sync button</p>
