Description: Script for keeping ftp archives up-to-date.
Mirror is a Perl program that uses the ftp protocol 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 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.
