Hi,

I've been trying to figure out how to do this, and hopefully I'm missing
something obvious.  I'm looking to archive files from an FTP site.  What I
would like to do is FTP all files older than a particular date to my machine
where I can transfer them to a backup medium.  At the same time, I would
like to delete the files from the FTP site as they are no longer needed
there.

I've been racking my brain for a while, but haven't been able to come up
with an obvious solution to this problem.  I haven't found any flag I can
set in the mirror command, and no other simple solution.  How difficult
would it be to add a -O / -older-than=SPEC flag to the mirror command where
it would only FTP files older than a particular date?

If not, can anyone provide me with a solution to try?

Thanks!

Eric
