I haven't used this, but it looks like it might do what you need. I show the Debian package description because that's handy. Presumably you can grab it in some form for whatever you're running. $ apt-cache show fmirror Package: fmirror Priority: optional Section: net Installed-Size: 144 Maintainer: Antonin Kral <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 2:0.8.4-8 Depends: mailx, libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4) Filename: pool/main/f/fmirror/fmirror_0.8.4-8_i386.deb Size: 43360 MD5sum: cdc8fa3e0bbabecc5b42825e5af47a72 Description: memory efficient ftp mirror program A program for mirroring a directory from a remote ftp server. It allows regex-matching for files that are to be included and excluded. It uses a combination of timestamp, file size and file permissions to decide what files to transfer from the ftp server.
