Yeah, at my office I have setup anonymous-ftp on a server, then configured a user account called "ftpget" which owns a subdirectory of the anonymous ftp directory. The ftpget user has a cron job that uses the wget command to mirror remote sites early in the morning. With wget you can also set pauses between each get, and you can set retries and such on the command line. The /etc/mail/aliases file has a line sending me the output of the jobs via my normal e-mail address. I use this to maintain mirrors of the SunFreeware and HP-Porting center archives. -Ben. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
