I use lftp for things like this. It is scriptable via stdin or a script file (lftp -f script_file) and has a simple mirror command that seems to work. E.g., to mirror slink-proposed-updates: $ lftp ftp.debian.org <<END cd /pub/debian/dists mirror -ev slink-proposed-updates/ slink-proposed-updates/ END or, as a one-liner, $ lftp -e 'mirror -ev /pub/debian/dists/slink-proposed-updates/ /my/archive/slink-proposed-updates' ftp.debian.org John P. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Oh - I - you know - my job is to fear everything." - Bill Gates in Denmark
