I've found sitecopy a little obscure to setup, and a little buggy.[1]
It useful for webdav stuff, otherwise I suggest just sticking to...

My favourites which are wget with the -m (mirror) option and lftp with it's
mirror subcommand.

Small warning with wget -m on 'http' urls:  you probably want -np (no parent)
as well otherwise mirror might find a link pointing at a parent directory/file
resulting in the script getting way too much.

Matt

1. one bug I got was it attempting to create parent dirs before subdirs
and failing.

I use weex for just this; a poor man's rsync

mirror.pl


wget


There are also plenty of other alternatives and re-writes.
cURL, ftpcopy, etc, etc.  This is a well-trodden path.

Sitecopy (or xsitecopy if you want a nice GUI) is what you want. While
it doesn't directly have a scheduling option, you can run it as a cron
job.
