From version 5.0, Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere for VSS provides a caching solution
for distributed development. SourceAnywhere for VSS Cache Server is an optional
caching system. It is used to cache copies of requested server files, thereby
improving the client responsiveness.

remote location, you need SourceAnywhere for VSS Cache Server.

file will be transferred directly from Cache Server to client. No request is
sent to server.
