Re: Deciding on a section
You misunderstood. Mirrordir would not belong in net because it has
nothing to do with net, it mirrors one DIRECTORY to another. You can use
exclude statements like mirror does to selectively mirror only a portion
of a DIRECTORY which is what I use it for. Sunsite has it in the
.../system/backup section of the FTP site so I am going to slip it into
admin for my local build.
mirror mirrors ftp sites over the net, mirrordir mirrors directories
on the local filesystem keeping the access times and ownerships unchanged
and alowing you to make a config file specifying the files to be
mirrored.
