Hello,

I'm trying to use COPYDIR (or MIRRORDIR) to copy an entire web site from one server to 
mine.  I am using the syntax:

copydir -v ftp://<username>@<domain name>//home/user/www /home/user/http

The program starts, asks for my password, then starts copying files.  However, it 
tries to copy a bunch of files that don't exist... There are many directories in 
/home/user/www, and it is trying to copy files that are in directory B, looking for 
them in directory A.  Of course they're not there!  Why does it do this?

I am also getting a ton of "unable to open control file for reading: xxx: Permission 
denied" errors.  I can access the file fine, I know I have permission.  What's up with 
this?

Lastly, I have seen my destination path isn't always used like I would think - 
sometimes it creates its own directory at the destination specified, with this 
directory being named something from the source URL!

I just went to the cooker and downloaded and installed the latest mirrordir rpm, and 
it does the exact same thing.  

What's going on?  Is there another program that I can use that would do the same thing?

Bob
