Re: mirror remote web server, no ftp, how?
In [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] typed: I will be sending my web server out to be co-located, and keeping a second box here in my office. I want to be able to make this local box a mirror of the live box. I don't want/need ftp running on these boxes. I have a third box for development, then upload the new files to the live box. The local box is strictly a duplicate/backup of the live box. I do use ssh and access them using scp and putty. I would like this to run on a daily basis. Any ready-made apps available to do this? I didn't see anything in the ports. ftp/wget will mirror sites with either ftp or http. Might I suggest you change your methodology, and use your local box as a test box that you then push to the co-located box when you deem things ready. You can do the push with rsync or similar tools. mike -- Mike Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

Re: mirror remote web server, no ftp, how?
I will be sending my web server out to be co-located, and keeping a second box here in my office. I want to be able to make this local box a mirror of the rsync .. setup SSH with RSA or DSA authentication, use passphrase-less keys (or ssh-agent or something) and do something like (from remote web server) rsync -e ssh -av /path/to/files remote_server:/path/to/files use -avn instead of -av to have rsync show what it would do without actually doing it. of course if possible I reccomend transferring all files as a non root user in both cases, my last company I had seperate accounts for ftp synch and www synch. nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
