invoke webrequest vs smb

[NetoriusNick]

I am looking at how to efficiently transfer between two remote servers they will be firewalled to each other so the security of the method is not an issue (If I am missing something security wise please say). Which would be better  invoke webrequest or a networked drive?

Neither to be honest. Though between the two, a networked drive would be better, I always found that invoke-webrequest is incredibly slow.

 

Robocopy would be a better option due to its multi threaded nature, though it's still going over SMB.

thank you yes robocopy is an option we are considering if we use the networked drive
