By default, `filer.sync` will upload files directly to volume servers. This is the most efficient way to avoid extra hops and distribute the network traffic.
However, it uses volume server IP addresses configured for the cluster. These IPs may not be accessible to the `filer.sync` cause of network configuration (for example cluster1 and cluster2 are on different hosting providers). In this case, it could be useful to use the `filerProxy` option to make `filer.sync` does all the transfers through the filer. In order to enable this option, `-a.filerProxy` or/and `-b.filerProxy` can be added to the `weed filer.sync` process starting command line.
However, it uses volume server IP addresses configured for the local cluster. `filer.sync` is usually cross network.

## Debug log
To see all detail of transfers executed by `filer.sync`, options `-a.debug` or/and `-b.debug` can be added to the `weed filer.sync` process starting command line.
