SMB Server Side Copy / FSCTL support

I recently realized that TeraCopy does not issue FSCTL Offload commands to smb servers when copying/moving files there.

This has cost me quite a bit of time as I didn’t realize it at first.

Would it be possible to implement these commands?

    Getting around to updating this :)

    This topic on the TrueNAS forums revealed (or re-revealed…🤔) this lack of functionality in Teracopy.

    I haven’t spent time to reproduce the issue so taking the existing reports at face value I assume it’s all true.

    It would be nice to have the option with Teracopy to use SSC/FSCTL API calls (assuming that’s what they are). Obviously this could conflict with the transfer verification behavior or maybe there’s a clever way to skip verification as assumed unnecessary (or modified to the task).
