I use fmirror
If you are using freebsd and have the ports collection installed, just do
the following:
cd /usr/ports/ftp/fmirror
make;make install
Otherwise download the distribution. Linux RPM's exist as well as generic
source tarballs... google is your friend.
Then create a fmirror.conf file (mine is in /usr/local/etc) similar to...
username: whateverusernameAlgaveyou
password: whateveryourpasswordis
host: www.bitsavers.org
remotedir: /Users/aek/web/bitsavers/pdf
localdir: /pathtowhereveryourmirrordirectoryis
exclude: f
^(\.in\.|\.mirror|core$|MIRROR\.LOG|\.notar|\.message)
exclude: f ^(\.cache|\.zipped|lost\+found|Network Thrash
Folder)
Then put a line in crontab to run it periodically such as:
0 2 * * * root /usr/local/bin/fmirror -f
/usr/local/etc/fmirror.conf
Try to stay away from 2am CDT, thats my timeslot :)
