A system and method for distribution, replication, and management of files and their metadata across a network of file sharing servers for both preventative and promotion purposes relating to the particular content of the files. The system and method employ a process for dynamically distributing and replicating files across multiple file sharing computer servers using one or more synchronizing computer servers. Once distributed and replicated on a plurality of the file sharing servers, individual, or groups of replicated files are processed using a file modification application, a file input template containing metadata for each replicated file, and preset file destination template information present on each file sharing server. By using different destination template information on each file sharing server in the network, various protective and promotional aspects related to the files may be realized when used in a P2P or similar file sharing network environment.
