How do I get a mirror program to either a) copy symlinks and the files and directories they point to. or b) follow the sym link and simply copy what it points to I have tried every mirroring program I can find. They all just copy the symlink and not the file. The man pages don't address the problem at all. I have tried fmirror, lftp and lurkftp. Thanks for the help.
