>From the manual page:
Mirror is a package written in Perl that uses the ftp pro-
tocol to duplicate a directory hierarchy between the
machine it is run on and a remote host. It avoids copying
files unnecessarily by comparing the file time-stamps and
sizes before transferring. Amongst other things, it can
optionally compress, gzip, and split files.
It was written for use by archive maintainers but can be
used by anyone wanting to transfer a lot of files via ftp.
I use it at nightly for my own copy of ftp.debian.org for several weeks now.
