It looks like lftp is not running like I thought it would :/ Until I ran the following commands manually instead of through CRON, some files on the remote source FTP server dated May 6th/7th were not downloaded locally and then uploaded to the target remote FTP server: 1. Here's the script: # cat /var/sync.bash #!/usr/local/bin/bash echo Downloading from Source FTP lftp -u joe,sixpack -e mirror -vn ./files /var/depot bye ftp.source.com echo Uploading to Target FTP lftp -u joe,sixpack -e mirror -vnR /var/depot ./downloads bye ftp.target.com 2. When run manually: # ./sync.bash Downloading from Source FTP Total : 1 directory, 41 files, 0 symlinks Uploading to Target FTP Total : 1 directory, 41 files, 0 symlinks To be removed: 0 directories, 2 files, 0 symlinks 3. CRON: # crontab -l 5,35 * * * * /var/sync.bash /dev/null 21 = What does To be removed: 0 directories, 2 files, 0 symlinks actually mean?

I'll put those two lines in a script and add it to CRON: lftp -u joe,mypass -e mirror -vn ./files ./mirror bye ftp.source.com lftp -u joe,mypass -e mirror -vnR ./mirror ./files bye ftp.target.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[CRON] Recommended FTP client to download and upload files?
Hello I need to run a CRON job to download files from one FTP server if they're more recent, and upload them to another FTP server. The files all live in one directory, so there's no need for recursion. What command-line FTP client would you recommend for this? Thank you. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It is very scriptable and has built in facilities to only copy newer files.
