Text Caravan database provides a facility to define fields, which can be replicated when you create a table. This will prevent fields defined as local from replicating when a record or the entire table is replicated.
Figure 1
Replicating tables Caravan database server provides a very simple method of replicating a table at a remote destination through LAN, WAN, Internet or Intranet. From Caravan Database Manager, select the table you want to replicate. As shown in figure given below there is a box provided where you can enter the IP address of the location where you want to replicate data. Enter the IP address or the domain and click on send.
Figure 2
Valid address canbe of this form

IP Address192.168.0.50
IP Address:Port Number192.168.0.50:8182
DomainYourdomain.com
Host nameFlorida

By defining the host name in the hosts file you can directly enter the host name instead of your IP address. Host file is a system file used by Microsoft windows, which contains mapping of IP address to host names. For more information on host files refer Windows documentation.
Advantage of using host file is that you need not remember the IP address of the destination. Instead you can give a more meaningful name like Florida by mapping your Florida IP address in the hosts file.
