RE: Website backup/publishing S/W

["Dean Smith" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Pete

I suspected there were probably a few *nix type scripts around. My server
does have activeperl so I'll take a look. I'm quite happy using ftp etc but
find I forget sometimes to download at home the odd bit I've changed whilst
at work etc. I also have some thumbnails created on the server it would be
nice to copy back.

There's a Perl script called Mirror that mirrors via FTP. It is essentially
one way at a time though, and primarily get (it matches local time stamps
to the remote ones). In put mode, I'm not sure it can set time stamps as
there is no FTP command to set file time, so it could be less effective.

It IS free as is Perl.    ftp://sunsite.org.uk/packages/mirror/mirror.zip

I use it to automatically fetch a mirror copy of a web site that may be
updated elsewhere. I use WS-FTP to upload changes after I have made them. I
also use it to pull to my DMZ web server from the intranet web server that
I make changes on, and to push any uploads back in from the DMZ.
