Hi Raphael, On Mon, 2006-02-13 at 10:44 +1100, Raphael Kraus wrote: G'day all, I'm wanting to perform FTP synchronisation (similar to rsync) - i.e. a local and remote directory are made up to date at a set schedule. Where two files of the same name exist on both remote and local hosts, the older one is overwritten with the newer. Subdirectories are searched recursively. Are there any suggestions on how this can be / should be done? 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. http://www.lyra.org/sitecopy/ ADB -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

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. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
