Overview This paper takes a look at some of the ways that Longhorn Server facilitates offline file caching. Longhorn Server's file caching feature has been greatly improved over the previous version. In case a person is not familiar with offline file caching, the basic idea behind it is that when a client accesses a share on the server, that share's contents are automatically cached. If the user attempts to access the share at a later time when no connectivity to the server exists, then the user's workstation will transparently use the cached copy. Any changes that the user makes to cached files will be automatically synchronized with the server the next time that the user establishes a connection to the share.
