Probably - but debarchiver doesn't have hooks for calling other scripts when it's done, either. I suppose I could try to hack something into the cronfile itself. Just... ugly. And I have no idea what the 'indices' directory is... or which directories get the ls-lR.gz (presumably you don't bother to repeat it...) > > and SCP does not, AFAIK, allow for limiting an account to file-copies and > > disallowing shell access reliably (so I can't make an anonymous-upload > > account). > > You want sftp. It does all the things you require, I think[1] Uhm. Except the 'supported by dupload' criteria, which I guess is only a convenience - but if I were going to hack on dupload, I'd probably just set up an area where folks could upload via HTTP, which is far better supported. > > I can't honestly imagine that the load is heavy enough that mirroring it > > would be a terribly useful excercise in the first place, but that's neither > > here nor there.

I'd like some help in the practical setup for this, since I'm not the main beneficiary. > [1]OK, so as ssh maintainer I may be biased :) Hey, secure is great. The problem with FTP isn't that it isn't secure, though - I mean, all of the info is stuff that's re-published. The problem is that I run a strict firewall, and FTP is from The Land Before Firewalls. -- *************************************************************************** Joel Baker System Administrator - lightbearer.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://users.lightbearer.com/lucifer/
