A system for synchronizing unstructured documents includes sub-nodes () and a network connecting the sub-nodes together. Each sub-node includes a database server (), an FTP (file transfer protocol) server, and client computers (). The database server includes a summary table () for storing a summary of all unstructured documents, and has the function of synchronizing with summary tables stored in other sub-nodes. The FTP server stores unstructured documents, and has the function of downloading unstructured documents from the FTP servers of other sub-nodes. Each client computer includes a client proxy. The client proxy includes a database processing module for generating instructions on updating, searching, and deleting data stored in the database server, a file processing module for generating instructions on downloading unstructured documents from the FTP servers of other sub-nodes, and a client processing module for receiving sync orders from users.

System and method for synchronizing unstructured documents

A system for synchronizing distributed stored documents includes a core-node (), a plurality of branch-nodes (), and a network () connecting the core-node with the branch-nodes. Each branch-node includes: a branch-database server () for storing a summary of all distributed stored documents, wherein the summary can be updated in accordance with a sync message received from the core-node; and a branch-FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server for storing the distributed stored documents, the branch-FTP server having the function of exchanging documents with the core-node. The core-node includes a core-database server (), a core-FTP server (), and an application server (). The core-database server stores a summary of all distributed stored documents. The core-FTP server is used for storing the distributed stored documents. The application server comprises a sync controlling module () that controls data exchange between the core-FTP server and the branch-FTP servers. A related method is also disclosed.
