Dear Friend ,
I’ve two companies “HTI Co. and KSH Co.” located in two different sites and connected together via VPN connection as following :
HTI Co. : connected via leased line at 64 kbps up/down speed using CISCO router 2800 series
KSH Co. :connected via leased line at 128 kbps up/down speed using CISCO router 2800 series
I need more information if I can make for the offline files in KSH offices synchronize in order to reach the original files in HTI offices, is it possible with this current speed and what is the minimum speed requirement.

Many thanks for your help and support.

There is not enough information to accurately answer the question. How much data are you trying to synchronize? By Offline files, am I to assume that you are trying to use one of Micro$oft's features? If so, how many users are you trying to set it up for? How often does it change and how large is the delta (difference between what it was and what it has become).

Are you trying to facilitate a more "robust" document access for traveling users? Are the documents simply too large for them to be loaded across the VPN? I think having more foundation and background for your question may yield a more positive and useful answer.

Generically speaking, If you have a functioning VPN connection and you are looking to maintain file synchronization between two file repositories on either side of the VPN, you may find that the best thing to do will be to invest in synch-ing software and to "seed" each site first by physically making a copy (like to a USB hard drive, Flash dirve, CD or DVD) and uploading it locally. Once the seed is "planted" on either side, you have a better chance of not flooding the leased lines, as it will only need to synchronize the delta going forward.
